About the Arranger: Mark Brymer
Mark Brymer is a prolific arranger whose work spans choral, instrumental, and vocal jazz idioms. His arrangements consistently balance accessibility with musical substance, making him a trusted voice in music education publishing for directors seeking material that engages students without sacrificing artistry.
Why we love this
Brymer has crafted something genuinely useful here: a medley that doesn't feel like a greatest hits compilation cobbled together for novelty value. The song selection spans decades and musical styles yet maintains coherence, and the seven-minute span works perfectly for a concert moment that entertains audiences without overstaying its welcome. Your singers will recognize every tune, which means they'll bring energy from the first phrase.
What to expect
A walk through Broadway's most enduring stories. You're swept from the ambitious energy of a Chorus Line through the romance of Beauty and the Beast, the revolutionary fervor of Les Miserables, the traditions of Fiddler on the Roof, and the longing of Miss Saigon. It's celebratory and emotionally varied in the span of seven minutes.
Who it's for
Choirs looking for audience-pleasing concert material that doesn't require staging or a theatrical commitment. The combo voicing and straightforward difficulty level make this workable for high school or adult community ensembles.
How to get the most out of it
- Find the stylistic distinctions between songs rather than treating them uniformly. Each show has a different musical DNA; let your tempos and dynamics reflect that shift.
- Balance the instrumental parts with the vocal line. In a medley, the temptation is often to let the choir dominate, but Brymer likely wrote counterlines worth hearing.
- Map out your transitions between songs during early rehearsals. These are the moments that can feel rushed or sloppy without attention.
How to use it
Slot this into the lighter half of a concert to reset the room after something substantial. It also works well as a spring pops concert anchor or as a moment of levity in an otherwise classical program. The familiarity of these melodies makes it a natural closer if you want the audience leaving humming.
