More about this title

About the Composer: Marc Shaiman

Marc Shaiman has composed music for Broadway, film, and television since the 1980s, with a gift for writing memorable melodies that land with both humor and heart. His work on Catch Me If You Can showcases his ability to craft music that serves the narrative while giving performers infectious, singable material. Shaiman's scores consistently balance sophistication with accessibility, making his music rewarding for professional and student ensembles alike.

Why we love this

Jet Set brings the energy and swagger of a Broadway production number into a choral context without demanding Broadway-level vocal gymnastics. The arrangement balances tight four-part harmony work with a contemporary pop sensibility, and the optional instrumental parts give you flexibility to feature your ensemble's strengths whether you have a full pit or just piano accompaniment.

What to expect

Upbeat and sophisticated, with the jet-set glamour and travel-adventure spirit of the musical's narrative. The tune feels fresh and propulsive, with the kick of a pop-influenced arrangement that appeals to singers who love contemporary vocal music.

Who it's for

Show choirs and competitive choral programs looking for contemporary Broadway material that fits a show package or standalone concert. Strong SATB ensembles with rhythmic confidence and intonation security will find this rewarding, as the arrangement doesn't hold back on harmonic density.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythmic precision in the section parts early. The tight harmonies depend on singers committing to exact rhythmic placement, especially in syncopated passages where parts move independently.
  • Layer the recorded accompaniment into rehearsals so singers hear how their parts sit against the instrumental texture. This arrangement assumes voices blend with, not over, the arrangement's rhythmic drive.
  • Shape dynamics phrase by phrase rather than section by section. The arrangement's forward momentum means keeping energy consistent even in softer moments so nothing feels static.
  • If you're adding the optional instrumental parts, balance the brass against your ensemble's volume. The horns should support and punch, not drown out the vocal lines.

How to use it

Slot this into a concert where you're showcasing contemporary choral arrangements or Broadway classics. It pairs naturally with other show choir standards and reads as a confident, professional choice that audiences recognize and enjoy.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing rhythmically complex syncopation while maintaining harmonic blend
  • Reading and balancing four-part harmony with independent rhythmic movement
  • Responding to recorded accompaniment cues and instrumental articulation
  • Building ensemble energy and precision in uptempo popular music styles
