About the Composer: Kristen Anderson-Lopez Robert Lopez
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez are the songwriting team behind Disney's Frozen franchise, crafting music that resonates across both theatrical and concert settings. Their work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of how melody and orchestration can serve narrative while remaining accessible to young performers and audiences alike.
Why we love this
Michael Brown's arrangement captures the emotional sweep of Frozen 2 without overwhelming a Grade 3 ensemble. The scoring respects the original's haunting quality (particularly in 'Vuelie') while giving your band moments of genuine theatrical impact that feel earned rather than oversimplified.
What to expect
Cinematic storytelling translated into concert form. These arrangements move from intimate and introspective moments (the opening chant, tender passages in 'All Is Found') to sweeping, triumphant sections that showcase the full ensemble's capabilities. The emotional journey mirrors the film's arc.
Who it's for
Concert bands at the Grade 3 level looking to program contemporary film music that connects with student musicians and audiences. Directors seeking a cohesive suite that demonstrates range without demanding virtuosic technique.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the 'Vuelie' opening: let that chant melody float above the ensemble rather than pushing the accompanimental voices forward.
- Attend to the character shifts between songs. 'Some Things Never Change' requires warmth and lyricism, while 'Into the Unknown' demands energy and forward momentum.
- Shape 'Lost in the Woods' with clear sectional contrasts; the arrangement likely separates ensemble sections from solos, so clarify those transitions in rehearsal.
- Bring out counter-melodic lines in inner voices during 'Show Yourself'. These support the emotional arc without needing to dominate.
How to use it
Use this as a complete concert suite, or select individual movements to anchor programs around contemporary film music. It works equally well as a winter/holiday concert feature or as part of a spring pops concert celebrating musical theater and film.
Skills your students will build
- Balancing lyrical melody against accompanimental textures
- Controlling dynamics across a wide emotional range
- Executing smooth transitions between contrasting tempos and characters
- Interpreting contemporary songwriting alongside traditional concert band repertoire
