I'm Flying: Choral Octavo SoundTrax CD

This arrangement takes one of Broadway's most infectious melodies and makes it instantly singable for young choirs. The partner song structure adds rhythmic interest and ensemble dialogue that keeps singers engaged while the recorded accompaniment handles the harmonic foundation, letting your singers focus on precision and joy.

Pure theatrical joy. This arrangement captures the buoyancy and innocence of the original, with a melody that soars and a rhythmic vitality that makes standing still nearly impossible. Singers feel the magic of flight the moment they open their mouths.

Two-part choirs in elementary and middle school settings will find this accessible and motivating. The straightforward vocal ranges and familiar Broadway source material appeal to singers who respond to repertoire they recognize, and the fun factor keeps morale high during rehearsals and concerts.

• Tap into the literal imagery of flying: work on light, floating tone quality and clean releases that suggest weightlessness rather than earthbound heaviness.
• Balance the two melodic lines carefully so neither part disappears; use sectional rehearsals to build confidence in whichever part carries the secondary melody.
• Anchor the rhythmic drive with your recorded accompaniment, but encourage singers to hear themselves as the primary musical event, not a response to the track.

Program this as a finale or concert brightener that audiences instantly recognize and enjoy. It works beautifully in spring concerts, holiday programs with a theatrical theme, or any concert where you want to showcase your singers' ability to blend fun with solid musicianship. Pair it with other Broadway selections for a theatrical medley or use it alone as an energetic closer.

• Singing two-part harmony with clear part independence
• Responding to recorded accompaniment while maintaining independent musicality
• Executing clean phrase endings and releases
• Blending tone quality across a section while sustaining pitch accuracy
