Can't Stop the Feeling (arr. Stefan Flügel): SATB Choral Octavo

Stefan Flügel's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while crafting something genuinely singable across four parts. The piece gives your singers a modern feel without sacrificing harmonic interest, making it ideal for choirs seeking repertoire that feels current but remains musically substantial.

Buoyant and celebratory. The arrangement maintains the effervescent quality of the original while grounding it in four-part harmony. Singing this feels like capturing pure optimism.

Intermediate to advanced treble and mixed choirs looking to expand beyond traditional repertoire. This works equally well for concert, show, or pops settings where contemporary material strengthens audience connection.

• Keep the rhythmic drive steady throughout; this tune lives on its groove, so lock the pulse before adding interpretive nuances.
• Shape the dynamic arc to build naturally from verse to chorus, resisting the urge to peak too early in the piece.
• Balance the vocal texture so no single part dominates; blend is essential when delivering this synth-pop energy acoustically.
• Emphasize diction clarity on the title phrase and hook lines, which carry the memorability of the arrangement.

Pair it with one or two other contemporary pop arrangements to create a standalone set, or nest it within a broader concert where it signals your choir's range. Its upbeat nature makes it excellent programming after a serious piece, resetting audience energy.

• Rhythmic precision in syncopated pop idioms
• Balancing blend and clarity in close-voiced homophonic textures
• Sustaining forward momentum through repetitive harmonic structures
• Interpreting dynamic shape in melismatic passages
