About the Arranger: Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley brings decades of professional arrangement and composition experience to the educational choral market. His background spans Disney theme park productions, NBC television work as a music director, and Grammy-considered compositions recorded by established artists. He holds a degree in music and psychology from Indiana University and maintains a fully digital recording studio in Los Angeles, where he continues to produce material across multiple genres and mediums.

Billingsley's relationship with The Walt Disney Company has made him a fixture in the entertainment industry, and he regularly leads clinician sessions at Disney's Magic Music Days. His recent work includes 10 original songs for a new Broadway-style musical, reinforcing his ability to write music that engages performers and audiences alike. His arrangements are built on a deep understanding of how music functions in professional contexts, from commercial recordings to live performance.

Why we love this

Billingsley takes a contemporary pop hit and transforms it into a choral vehicle that sounds natural coming from singers rather than trying to recreate the original arrangement. The SoundTrax accompaniment gives your singers a professional reference and a solid harmonic anchor during rehearsals, which is especially valuable when teaching material that doesn't follow traditional harmonic progressions.

What to expect

A moment of contemporary joy and movement, built on the infectious energy of a modern pop song. The arrangement respects the original's appeal while giving singers something substantial to perform as an ensemble.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking accessible, engaging secular repertoire that connects with contemporary audiences. This works equally well for show choirs, concert choirs, or festival-preparing ensembles that want something current without sacrificing vocal writing quality.

How to get the most out of it

  • Listen to the recorded accompaniment in sections during rehearsal so singers can internalize the groove and understand where their parts sit within the fuller texture.
  • Keep the energy forward and conversational; pop arrangements thrive on a sense of ease rather than operatic precision in diction.
  • Lock the rhythmic placement of syllables with the accompaniment track, especially in syncopated moments where the choir's entrances might feel unsure without a reference.

How to use it

Include this in a spring or end-of-year concert where you're mixing repertoire styles, or use it as an encore that leaves audiences in high spirits. It pairs well alongside more traditional selections, offering contrast and keeping concert-goers engaged across varying musical tastes.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing contemporary pop in a choral setting
  • Syncopated rhythm patterns and subdivisions
  • Balancing ensemble blend in texturally layered arrangements
  • Following a recorded accompaniment with accuracy and musicality
