Do A Little Good (from Spirited) (arr. Roger Emerson): Choral Instrumental Pak

Roger Emerson's arrangement captures the infectious good humor of this holiday anthem while keeping the vocal writing accessible without sacrificing sophistication. The piece radiates genuine warmth; it's contemporary without feeling trendy, and it works equally well as a concert closer or a program highlight that audiences actually remember.

Infectious and spirited in the best sense. The song carries the optimistic momentum of the show itself; listeners feel the invitation to participate in something joyful and deliberate, not saccharine.

Holiday programs seeking contemporary material with actual theatrical pedigree. This works for choirs that want to program something audiences recognize from a beloved film while still offering musicians a genuinely rewarding arrangement.

• Let the rhythm section lock the groove early in rehearsal before layering choral parts. This song thrives on a tight, steady pocket.
• Emphasize the lyrical clarity; Pasek and Paul's wordplay deserves to land. Crisp diction matters more here than power.
• Balance the ensemble sound so soloists (if featured) cut through without the choir dropping back too far. The arrangement likely calls for featured voices to shine.

Program this as a concert finale in your December concert to send audiences out with energy and humor. It pairs well with both traditional carols and other contemporary holiday songs, anchoring a mixed program with something audiences recognize and enjoy.

• Maintaining rhythmic precision in syncopated passages
• Articulation and diction in comedic song material
• Blend and balance with instrumental accompaniment
• Sustaining musical energy and expression in uptempo material
