More about this title
About the Arranger: Mark Brymer
Mark Brymer has spent decades arranging for choral ensembles across all levels, with a particular gift for translating contemporary musical theater into accessible yet musically satisfying choral settings. His arrangements consistently honor the emotional core of the original material while creating viable parts for student singers, making him one of the most frequently performed arrangers in American school choirs.
Why we love this
Brymer's medley distills the emotional architecture of Dear Evan Hansen into four songs that work as a unified arc rather than a collection of hits. This arrangement respects what made the musical resonate with audiences while giving your singers access to music that feels contemporary and personally relevant to them.
What to expect
Intimate and searching, shifting between moments of raw vulnerability and soaring hope. The songs move through loneliness, connection, romance, and the transformative power of being truly seen by another person.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking contemporary material that carries genuine emotional weight and speaks to adolescent experience. This works for high school choirs and advanced middle school groups with musical maturity and expressive capability.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vulnerability in 'Waving Through A Window' by keeping the texture lean in early phrases; let the harmonic support grow as the emotional intensity builds.
- Pay attention to text clarity in 'Sincerely, Me' where overlapping lines create comedy; rhythmic precision here pays off dramatically.
- Shape the phrase arcs in 'For Forever' without rushing; this moment needs room to breathe as the musical's emotional turning point.
- Build strategic momentum across the four songs so the medley feels like a journey rather than a series of stops and starts.
How to use it
Program this as a standalone feature that bridges pop and art song on your concert. The medley format allows you to showcase theatrical storytelling without committing to a full show, making it ideal for a spring pops concert or a winter show celebrating contemporary musical expression.
