John Higgins is a prolific arranger whose work spans choral, instrumental, and vocal contexts. His arrangements are known for balancing accessibility with musical integrity, making them reliable choices for directors working across multiple performance levels.
Why we love this
Higgins captures the theatrical energy of Broadway while keeping the SATB voicing straightforward enough that rehearsal time stays focused on style and storytelling rather than technical obstacles. A medley structure means you get multiple songs in one piece, perfect for holiday concerts that need impact without eating up your whole program.
What to expect
Festive and theatrical. The medley format creates momentum and variety, moving between familiar holiday standards reimagined through a Broadway lens. Audiences respond to the combination of nostalgia and polish that comes with professional choral arranging.
Who it's for
Directors building a holiday concert who want to program recognizable Broadway songs with choir parts that sit well across all four voices. This works equally well for secular school choirs and community ensembles looking to add theatrical flavor to their December lineup.
How to get the most out of it
Bring out the character of each song within the medley by adjusting the choir's dynamic range and articulation between sections. Transitions matter as much as the melodies themselves.
Pay attention to any key changes between movements. Lock the ensemble on the new tonal center immediately after the modulation so the shift feels intentional, not accidental.
Lean into the Broadway style. This arrangement thrives on crisp diction and a sense of theatrical presence, even if you're singing in a concert hall rather than on a stage.
How to use it
Slot this into the heart of your holiday concert as a full ensemble statement that showcases your choir's versatility. The medley length and theatrical style make it an ideal centerpiece between smaller character pieces or instrumental selections.
