More about this title

About the Artist: Pasek Paul

Pasek and Paul are the songwriting team behind The Greatest Showman, the 2017 film that became a cultural phenomenon and introduced millions to circus-inspired storytelling through music. Their work on the soundtrack earned widespread acclaim and established them as composers who understand how to craft songs with genuine emotional resonance and theatrical flair. In music education settings, their compositions have proven particularly valuable for engaging singers of all ages and building enthusiasm for contemporary choral repertoire.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the infectious energy and infectious joy of the original without sacrificing singability or musicality. This piece brings contemporary film music into the rehearsal room in a way that genuinely excites singers, making it an excellent tool for building momentum in a concert or recruiting singers who connect more strongly with modern material.

What to expect

Jubilant and infectious, this piece radiates theatrical confidence and celebration. The music propels singers forward with bright energy while maintaining enough harmonic interest to keep experienced musicians engaged.

Who it's for

This arrangement works beautifully for high school and adult choirs looking to program contemporary film music with mass appeal. It's particularly effective for singers who are newer to choral music or who respond better to material they recognize from popular culture.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the three parts so the melody remains clear; the accompaniment figures should sit beneath rather than compete with the vocal lines.
  • Establish the rhythmic groove early in rehearsals. A solid grasp of the underlying pulse will help singers feel confident and energized.
  • Shape the dynamic arc to build gradually. Resist the temptation to start at full volume; let the excitement grow naturally from beginning to end.
  • Work the text with clear diction and forward motion. The contemporary style demands crisp consonants and rhythmically precise vowels.

How to use it

Consider placing this piece on a concert that includes other contemporary or film music selections, creating a themed section that draws casual audiences deeper into choral artistry. It also serves as a strong closer or second-to-last selection on a mixed program, sending audiences out with genuine warmth and enthusiasm.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing contemporary rhythmic patterns and syncopation
  • Balancing multiple independent vocal lines while maintaining a unified ensemble sound
  • Shaping dynamic arcs in extended phrases
