About the Arranger: Andy Beck

Andy Beck

Andy Beck leads the choral publications division at Alfred Music and has established himself as one of today's most performed composers and arrangers, with over 450 works for voices in active circulation. His arrangements span popular standards, secular pieces, and sacred music, all characterized by singable lines and practical scoring that works across skill levels. Beyond the page, Andy conducts honor choirs at state and regional festivals, adjudicates competitions, and leads clinics for music educators nationwide. His vocal resources, including Sing at First Sight and Vocalize! 45 Vocal Warm-Ups That Teach Technique, have become classroom staples.

A trained tenor and former studio singer for Alfred Music since 1992, Beck brings both musicianship and pedagogical depth to his work. His degrees from Ithaca College and Northwest Missouri State University ground his approach in music education fundamentals. Whether conducting musical theatre or performing with the North Carolina Master Chorale Chamber Choir, he remains actively engaged in choral performance and instruction.

Why we love this

Andy Beck's arrangements consistently deliver singable, rewarding parts without sacrificing sophistication. This accompaniment captures the spirit of the piece while leaving room for your singers to shape the performance, making it an excellent rehearsal and performance tool for directors working across mixed-voice and treble choirs.

What to expect

Esta Noche carries warmth and accessibility, inviting singers into a piece that feels both contemporary and grounded. The arrangement moves with natural phrasing and clear harmonic support, allowing voices to shine while the accompaniment creates shape and momentum.

Who it's for

This accompaniment track serves directors of mixed choirs, treble choirs, and community ensembles who need a dependable, professionally recorded piano part for rehearsals and performances. It's equally valuable for smaller groups or individual singers preparing the piece for contests, recitals, or group performances.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal blend against the accompaniment by using this digital track at various volume levels during rehearsals; let your singers discover where they need to project without drowning out the piano.
  • Work sections of the piece hands-on with singers first, then layer in the recorded accompaniment to test ensemble security and intonation before relying on it fully.
  • Record your own ensemble singing along with this track to identify passages where the group needs tightening; playback reveals rhythmic and pitch issues that are harder to catch in real time.

How to use it

Program this alongside other secular sacred works or Spanish-language selections to build cultural representation into your concert. It works well in a set with other Beck arrangements since his voice as an arranger creates musical coherence across pieces.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing against a recorded accompaniment with secure rhythm and intonation
  • Interpreting dynamic and phrasing cues from the piano track
  • Blending voice parts within the ensemble while maintaining clarity against instrumental accompaniment
