More about this title

About the Artist: Pitch Perfect (Movie)

Pitch Perfect became a cultural phenomenon by making a cappella cool for a generation. The 2012 film and its sequels showcased witty arrangements, ensemble unity, and the infectious energy that comes from voices alone. The movie's success proved that modern pop arrangements could be both musically sophisticated and genuinely fun to perform.

Deke Sharon's arrangements for the Bellas capture what makes the film so rewatchable: clever mashups that blend familiar melodies, tight harmonies that demand precision, and moments of pure joy. His work demonstrates how contemporary a cappella can maintain musical integrity while entertaining audiences.

Why we love this

A mashup featuring two Simple Minds classics gives your students an arrangement that's instantly recognizable yet musically complex. Deke Sharon has crafted something that sounds effortless but requires genuine ensemble work, making it rewarding for both the singers and their audience.

What to expect

Energetic and polished. The mashup creates momentum as familiar melodies interweave, and the a cappella texture puts the focus squarely on precision and blend. Singing it feels like being part of something intentionally fun without sacrificing musical substance.

Who it's for

Mixed voice choirs (SSAA voicing) with singers who can handle rhythmic independence and blend. This works best for groups comfortable with contemporary a cappella and ready to engage an audience that knows the source material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Build the blend slowly in rehearsal by isolating sections individually first; parts that seem disconnected on the page will lock when each voice trusts its own line.
  • Record rough versions weekly so singers can hear how their part sits within the whole arrangement; a cappella requires absolute precision in tuning and rhythm that becomes clear in playback.
  • Mark breathing points clearly and agree on them as an ensemble; synchronized breathing in mashups is what makes the transitions feel intentional rather than chaotic.
  • Emphasize the rhythmic precision in the accompaniment lines; without instrumental support, every eighth note counts.

How to use it

Consider this for a finale that celebrates contemporary music and ensemble cohesion. It pairs naturally with other pop arrangements or a cappella selections and gives audiences the familiar thrill of recognizing the source material.

Skills your students will build

  • Maintaining independent melodic lines within a mashup context
  • A cappella tuning and intonation in the absence of instrumental reference
  • Rhythmic precision and synchronization across multiple melodic layers
  • Blend and balance in SSAA voicing configurations
  • Navigating transitions between distinct musical sections
