More about this title

About the Arranger: Mark Brymer

Mark Brymer has become one of the most recorded choral arrangers in America, with hundreds of titles published across all voicings and skill levels. His arrangements consistently balance accessibility with musical substance, making Broadway and popular repertoire singable for high school and community choirs without sacrificing the sophistication audiences expect.

Why we love this

Brymer's gift is knowing exactly which songs from these blockbuster shows will resonate with singers and audiences alike. This collection pulls from shows with genuine staying power, giving your choir the chance to perform music that already lives in people's ears and hearts. The arrangements respect both the vocal lines that made these songs famous and the practical realities of SSA voicing.

What to expect

Pure Broadway sparkle in manageable form. These arrangements capture the theatrical shine of their source material, translating big-stage music for voices that may be young or smaller in number but no less eager to shine.

Who it's for

Directors building a program that needs Broadway legitimacy without the orchestration headaches. Your singers will engage immediately with material they recognize, and the SSA voicing opens this to middle school through adult community choirs.

How to get the most out of it

  • Secure the melodic line in the first soprano part before layering harmonies. These are recognizable songs; audiences will notice if the tune gets obscured.
  • Balance the accompaniment against your blend. Even a modest piano sound can bury SSA voices if you're not deliberate about dynamic control.
  • Study recordings of the original shows alongside this arrangement. Understanding where these melodies came from will shape phrasing and storytelling choices.
  • Mark your phrase endings clearly in rehearsal. Broadway songs live on their rhythmic vitality, and muddled breath points kill that energy.

How to use it

A standalone Broadway set for a spring concert, or scatter one or two numbers across a longer program where they'll catch ears and lift energy. The 21-page length suggests either a complete short program or a foundation to which you can add solos or additional items from the same shows.

Skills your students will build

  • Legit singing style and diction specific to musical theater
  • Balancing melody and harmony in popular song arrangements
  • Managing theatrical phrasing and shape across longer melodic lines
  • Intonation awareness in harmony-rich textures
