About the Composer: Adam Anders
Adam Anders has built a career at the intersection of pop songwriting and television production, working as a composer and producer on major broadcast projects. His work on Glee brought contemporary pop sensibilities into the choir room, creating accessible yet engaging material that resonated with both performers and audiences.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures the infectious energy that made Glee a cultural phenomenon, delivered in a package that actually works for your singers and dancers. The pop groove sits perfectly for intermediate ensembles, and the message of optimism and connection gives your students something genuine to perform rather than hollow entertainment.
What to expect
Bright and buoyant, built on a groove that pulls you forward. The melody sits naturally in modern vocal ranges while the arrangement provides enough texture to keep ears interested, creating that rare balance between singable and sophisticated.
Who it's for
Intermediate choirs with students who respond to contemporary material and have some choreographic interest. Works equally well for concert settings where you want an accessible closer or for festivals where pop selections are encouraged.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic pocket early in rehearsals; the groove only lands when the ensemble commits to the backbeat together, not fighting it.
- Shape the dynamic arc toward the peak moments rather than singing at one level throughout. The "light up" moments need contrast to sparkle.
- Coordinate any choreography with clear section entrances and cutoffs so dancers aren't fighting for spatial clarity with moving voices.
How to use it
This functions beautifully as a concert finale that sends audiences out energized. The three-minute runtime also makes it ideal for festival schedules where you need a high-impact closing number that doesn't demand extended setup time.
Skills your students will build
- Rhythmic independence within a strong groove
- Blend and balance in contemporary harmonic clusters
- Coordination of vocal and choreographic elements
- Sustaining energy and tuning through repeated motivic material
