More about this title
About the Artist: Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen emerged from Canadian television talent competitions to become a pop songwriter with genuine melodic instincts and an ear for infectious hooks. Her breakthrough came with "Call Me Maybe," a track that dominated global charts and demonstrated her ability to craft songs that are simultaneously catchy and well-constructed, making her work particularly valuable for choral arrangements.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the sparkle and momentum of the original without sacrificing the vocal blend that makes choral singing rewarding. Rhythm parts give your ensemble the drive that makes this song tick, and the familiar melody means students connect to the material immediately while still engaging with genuine musical challenges.
What to expect
Buoyant and bright, with the kind of momentum that makes an audience smile before the first phrase concludes. The arrangement preserves the song's pop sensibility while giving voices genuine lines to sing rather than harmonic filler.
Who it's for
Choirs looking to program contemporary pop that bridges the gap between what students want to sing and what builds real musical skills. This works equally well for middle school groups seeking high-engagement material and high school ensembles who appreciate repertoire with mass appeal and solid arranging craft.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the groove conversational rather than rigid. The rhythm section should sit slightly behind the beat to create pocket and space for the voices.
- Dial in the articulation on repeated melodic phrases so they land with precision but never sound mechanical.
- Balance the rhythmic accompaniment so it supports rather than overpowers the vocal lines; the charm lives in the interplay between the two.
- Emphasize the infectious quality of the hook by keeping tempo consistent and having singers lean into the lift at phrase endings.
How to use it
Launch a concert's second half with this to recalibrate the room's energy, or pair it with other contemporary pop arrangements to build a set that speaks to your singers' generation. The approachable difficulty and short duration make it ideal for spring concerts or community outreach performances where relatability matters.
Skills your students will build
- Singing rhythmic pop idioms with precision while maintaining phrase flow
- Blending with instrumental accompaniment and responding to rhythm section dynamics
- Executing syncopated rhythmic figures across all voice parts
- Sustaining engagement and accuracy in shorter, high-energy arrangements
