About the Arranger: Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley has built a career orchestrating across every format imaginable, from Broadway musicals to theme park productions to network television. His deep partnership with The Walt Disney Company spans decades, positioning him as a trusted voice for Disney material in educational settings. He has conducted clinics at Disneyland's Magic Music Days and served as music director for NBC's "Days of Our Lives," work that sharpened his gift for translating sophisticated arrangements into teachable scores.

Based in Los Angeles, Billingsley runs a fully digital recording studio and holds a degree in music and psychology from Indiana University. His compositions have garnered Grammy consideration, and his versatility across commercial, theatrical, and educational markets means his arrangements balance artistic integrity with practical classroom needs. When Billingsley arranges Disney material for student choirs, he draws on years of intimate knowledge of how these songs breathe at the highest professional level.

Why we love this

Billingsley's expertise with Disney music and gift for elegant orchestration means every transition in this medley lands cleanly and every musical moment serves the story. Two-part writing at this length offers real flexibility for mixed ensembles without sacrificing harmonic interest or the signature warmth these melodies deserve. The 29-page package gives you substantial material without demanding weeks of rehearsal time, making it ideal for concerts that benefit from a carefully curated world tour.

What to expect

A carefully paced journey across the Disney catalogue, stitching iconic moments together with respect for each song's character. The medley format creates momentum and variety while maintaining a cohesive emotional arc that feels intentional rather than scattered.

Who it's for

This works for any two-part ensemble seeking substantial, polished repertoire with genuine audience appeal. Choirs mixing treble and unchanged voices will find the voicing accessible; so will groups performing at school assemblies, spring concerts, or community events where Disney's cultural footprint guarantees engagement.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the mix between melody and countermelody throughout the medley; Billingsley's harmonies are intentional, and doubling everything to the top line will flatten the arrangement's sophistication.
  • Mark the transitions between songs during a sectional so singers understand where energy peaks and releases. Medleys can blur together if phrasing feels continuous without intention.
  • Record a piano or full accompaniment scratch track early in rehearsals so singers hear how their lines sit within the orchestration, especially if instrumental accompaniment won't be present during early run-throughs.

How to use it

Position this as a high-energy set piece to anchor a spring concert or end-of-year assembly, pairing it with one or two traditional selections to demonstrate your ensemble's range. It also functions beautifully as a standalone feature for fundraising events or pops concerts where the audience expects entertainment and emotional resonance in equal measure.

Skills your students will build
