Dos/Two Oruguitas (from Encanto) (arr. Audrey Snyder): SAB Choral Octavo

Audrey Snyder's SAB arrangement preserves the song's emotional core, the magical realism that makes Encanto resonate with audiences, while making it genuinely accessible for three-part mixed ensembles. The bilingual text and flowing melodic lines give your singers material that feels contemporary and meaningful, not recycled.

Gentle and introspective, yet carrying quiet strength. The song unfolds like a conversation between generations, with layered harmonies that create warmth and depth. There's magic in the simplicity, the kind that sneaks up on listeners.

Three-part mixed choirs at the middle school through early high school level who want repertoire that connects with students' lives. Directors seeking contemporary material that doesn't sacrifice musical substance for pop appeal will find this a genuine choice.

• Balance the Spanish and English phrases with intention. The code-switching is deliberate storytelling; don't rush through either language.
• Shape the dynamics around the imagery of the caterpillars transforming. Let the music rise and fall with hope rather than staying static throughout.
• Trust the harmonic movement to carry your singers through longer phrases. This arrangement rewards legit connection to the text over technical showiness.

Program this as a concert opener to set an intimate tone, or pair it with other film and television selections for a themed show. It also works beautifully in spring concerts celebrating diversity and cultural music, or as a standalone feature that demonstrates your choir's range beyond traditional classical repertoire.
