Hopelessly Devoted to You (From "Grease"): Piano/Vocal/Chords

This collection assembles ten Broadway standards with genuine star power, each one recognized and loved by singers across age groups and voice types. The arrangements by Greg Gilpin are clean and singable without sacrificing the character that makes these songs iconic, and the inclusion of background information on each piece gives singers meaningful context for interpretation.

These songs span emotional territory from yearning and vulnerability to joy and triumph. Whether you're singing the melancholy longing of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" or the infectious optimism of "A Brand New Day," each arrangement supports the emotional authenticity the song requires while keeping the focus on your voice and interpretation.

This collection serves singers preparing for auditions, recitals, or performances who want well-arranged, recognizable material that works across voice types and age ranges. It's equally valuable for solo singers building a versatile audition book and for music teachers seeking classroom repertoire that engages students through familiar material.

• Use the recorded accompaniment strategically during rehearsal to establish tempos and accompaniment patterns, then practice frequently without it to build independence and confidence with your own phrasing.
• Study the original recordings of these songs to understand the emotional arc and stylistic details, then make choices that honor your own voice type and comfort range rather than imitating a specific recording artist.
• Attend to the lyrics with the same care you would give to classical art songs; these are character pieces with dramatic intent, and the words carry the narrative weight of each moment.

Draw from this collection when programming recitals that balance theater and popular vocal styles, or when you need reliable audition material that appeals to casting directors. The breadth of songs means you can program multiple selections from this single book in a solo recital or feature them across an entire season of student performances.
