Get Over You (arr. Craig McLeish): TTBB Choral Octavo

Fresh and propulsive, with the kind of driving momentum that made the original endure. The arrangement maintains that wry, slightly defiant tone of the original while creating moments where the voices can shine through clean harmonic textures.

Male and mixed choirs comfortable with pop repertoire and looking to add contemporary material to their season. This works particularly well for groups that want to engage audiences with a recognizable song while developing ensemble cohesion.

• Anchor the rhythmic groove in the bass and baritone lines; locked rhythm section work will energize the whole ensemble and keep the tempo propulsive.
• Balance the tenor line carefully when it carries the primary melodic material. It should float above but not dominate the harmonic support underneath.
• Lean into the conversational phrasing that defines this song. Think about the lyrical content driving the rhythm rather than metronomic precision.

Program this as a concert energizer alongside more traditional pop or rock arrangements. The four-page length makes it manageable for rehearsal time investment, and it works equally well as a closing number or mid-concert pick-me-up.

• Rhythmic precision in pop and contemporary idioms
• Balancing melody against harmonic layers
• Stylistic interpretation of non-classical vocal music
• Part independence across TTBB voicing
