More about this title

About the Composer: Jay Hawkins

Jay Hawkins (1929-1971) was an American R&B and rock and roll pioneer whose theatrical energy and distinctive vocal style made him a singular force in 1950s music. Originally trained as a pianist, Hawkins built his reputation on wild, energetic performances and novelty records that blended humor with genuine musical sophistication. "I Put a Spell on You," released in 1956, became his signature song and has since been recorded by countless artists across genres, cementing Hawkins's influence on popular music and rock and roll culture.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the playful menace and infectious groove of the original while giving your SATB singers a genuinely fun performance vehicle. The PartTrax accompaniment lets you hear exactly how the voices should sit in the mix, making it easier to balance parts and nail the groove without a full instrumental ensemble.

What to expect

Mischievous and driving, with a groove that sits just slightly behind the beat, making it feel inevitable and hypnotic rather than frantic. The arrangement respects the original's witchy charm while giving it a modern choral polish that keeps the supernatural humor intact.

Who it's for

Any SATB choir looking for a contemporary pop arrangement with real theatrical flair and an audience-friendly hook. This works equally well for concert choirs seeking something lighter, show choirs wanting a reliable crowd-pleaser, and community ensembles that value singability and fun.

How to get the most out of it

Lean into the theatrical attitude. This song lives on personality and swagger; encourage singers to commit fully to the character rather than playing it safe or precious.
Lock the rhythmic precision with the accompaniment from day one. The groove only works if your ensemble stays tight with the click and doesn't rush the beat.
Balance the SATB blend carefully during full section hits. The song's power comes from clarity and punch, not from drowning out higher voices with lower ones.
Use the recorded accompaniment to rehearse independently before sectional rehearsals, so singers arrive already confident in their entrances and phrasing.

How to use it

Program this for Halloween concerts or fall-themed shows, but don't limit it to October; the song's theatrical appeal works just as well as a novelty number in a spring pops concert or as an encore that leaves the audience smiling. Its recognizability also makes it a strong choice for recruiting singers who might be uncertain about choral participation.
