More about this title
About the Artist: Glee Cast
The Glee Cast brought together a diverse ensemble of young performers whose chemistry and vocal talent made the show a cultural phenomenon. Their interpretations of contemporary pop songs, combined with tight vocal arrangements, demonstrated how modern music could engage choir students and general audiences alike.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original performance while remaining accessible for high school ensembles. The mash-up structure gives your choir multiple musical moments to sink their teeth into, and the pop-contemporary sound appeals to singers who might not typically gravitate toward traditional choral repertoire.
What to expect
Motivational and spirited, with the kind of infectious groove that makes audiences lean in. The arrangement threads hope and determination throughout, creating a performance that feels both entertaining and genuinely uplifting rather than gimmicky.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking repertoire that resonates with contemporary singers and audiences, especially programs balancing traditional and modern music. Works well for groups comfortable with pop idioms and looking to build energy for concert openers or festival sets.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic precision in the opening; the pop style depends on locked groove work from your rhythm section and vocals working as a unified percussion instrument.
- Balance the two songs' contrasting emotional tones. The Nicki/Rihanna section has swagger and attitude, while the R. Kelly portion needs earnest vulnerability. Let those shifts breathe.
- Use the recorded accompaniment as a rehearsal tool to lock tempos and energy, but resist letting it dominate live performance; your singers should drive the song.
- Shape the mash-up transitions carefully so they feel intentional rather than abrupt. The emotional arc from aspiration through self-belief is your throughline.
How to use it
Open a concert with this to establish immediate connection with your audience and set a confident tone for the evening. It pairs well in mixed programs where you want to signal that your choir owns contemporary music with the same musicality as anything else in your season.
