More about this title
About the Arranger: Mark Brymer
Mark Brymer has spent decades crafting choral arrangements that balance accessibility with musical integrity. His work spans everything from contemporary pop to sacred music, and he has an exceptional talent for adapting familiar material so that singers at various levels can deliver genuinely rewarding performances.
Brymer understands what works in a rehearsal room and on stage. His arrangements tend to feature clear part writing, rhythmic vitality, and moments that let singers feel the groove rather than simply execute it. Music educators trust his name because his pieces actually work when you teach them.
Why we love this
This medley captures the infectious energy of the film while giving your singers real funk and soul to dig into without requiring a massive ensemble. The gospel inflection is genuine rather than superficial, and the arc across three songs keeps the five minutes feeling fresh and purposeful rather than like a collection of clips.
What to expect
Warm gospel grooves layered with contemporary soul. The music invites your singers to feel joy and resilience simultaneously, combining the celebratory lift of funk with the emotional depth gospel traditions bring. This is music that makes an audience leave the hall feeling genuinely uplifted.
Who it's for
Choirs wanting to program something contemporary and feel-good without sacrificing musical substance. This works for high school, college, and community ensembles with at least moderate rhythmic comfort and the ability to access or create a small instrumental group.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rhythmic pocket between your rhythm section and singers from day one. Gospel grooves live or die on this connection, so spend rehearsal time on the backbeat and felt pulse before worrying about blend.
- Layer in the positive message as a vocal quality, not a narrative. Singers should feel lifted and celebratory, and that intention will carry the affirmations in the text.
- Shape the dynamic arc across all three songs as a single journey rather than three separate pieces. Let the energy build intelligently so the final moments feel like a genuine climax.
How to use it
Pair this as the emotional centerpiece of a concert that might otherwise lean classical or formal. The positive message and infectious groove make it an excellent closer for a spring concert or a showcase for your choir's versatility and connection to contemporary culture.
