About the Arranger: Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley brings decades of experience across film, television, theme parks, and Broadway to every arrangement he creates. His deep partnership with Disney has shaped his understanding of how to capture the energy and emotional resonance of beloved songs, while his work on NBC's "Days of Our Lives" and numerous live television broadcasts demonstrates his skill at adapting music for performance under real constraints.

Based in Los Angeles with both a formal music education from Indiana University and a fully digital recording studio, Billingsley has built a body of work that spans educational settings, commercial releases, radio and television productions, and live theatrical events. His compositions have earned Grammy consideration, and he recently contributed original songs to a Broadway-style musical, cementing his status as both a versatile arranger and a creator in his own right.

Why we love this

Billingsley understands how to preserve the infectious energy of the original "Circle of Life" theme while making it accessible and genuinely fun for SATB singers across a range of abilities. The arrangement balances rhythmic precision with moments of harmonic richness, giving your singers material that feels substantial to perform rather than a surface-level pop reduction.

What to expect

Powerful and rhythmically infectious, with the swagger and confidence of the original film theme translated into four-part harmony. The arrangement maintains the African musical character that defines the source material while keeping the vocal writing singable and the energy unflagging.

Who it's for

Elementary and middle school choirs looking for a pop arrangement with genuine Disney credibility and substantial musical content. High school programs serving younger audiences will also find it engaging, whether for a family concert or a show featuring music from animated film.

How to get the most out of it

  • Anchor the groove with your rhythm section and bass line, allowing the upper voices to float their melodies over a locked foundation rather than fighting for clarity.
  • Bring out the African percussion references in the accompaniment; they're essential to the character and will energize your singers.
  • Shape the dynamics with intention around the key lyrical moments, resisting the urge to stay loud throughout just because the material is energetic.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a concert opener or closer for a show aimed at families and younger listeners. You can also program it alongside other Disney choral arrangements or pop selections to build a thematic concert around film and animated music.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic independence in an ensemble with syncopated accompaniment
  • Shaping melodic lines within a contemporary pop idiom
  • Balancing harmonic blend while maintaining forward momentum
  • Responding to African musical rhythmic and tonal elements
