Be The Hero: 2-Part Choral Octavo

Brymer captures the anthemic energy of Broadway in a 2-part voicing that doesn't sacrifice the song's emotional arc. You get permission to program something modern and inspiring without compromising accessibility or rehearsal time.

The energy of Broadway sits front and center here. You get driving rhythms, memorable melodic hooks, and lyrics built to inspire. It's the kind of piece that builds momentum as rehearsals progress and lands hard in performance.

Middle school through high school choirs seeking contemporary material with Broadway appeal. This works equally well for groups building confidence in modern idioms or those looking to round out a concert with an empowering finale.

• Commit to the story in every phrase. This arrangement thrives when singers understand they're delivering a message, not just executing notes.
• Balance the parts so neither line recedes; the two-part texture only works if both voices carry equal weight.
• Nail the rhythmic precision in any syncopated passages. Broadway style demands groove alongside musicality.

Drop this as a closing number on a spring or winter concert to send audiences out energized. It pairs well alongside show tunes or other contemporary choral work, and the 13 pages won't overwhelm your rehearsal calendar.

• Singing with rhythmic precision in contemporary/Broadway idioms
• Balancing two independent vocal lines with equal strength
• Connecting lyrical content to vocal expression and phrasing
• Building ensemble cohesion across different voice parts
