Lovebug - The Jonas Brothers In Concert (Medley): 2-Part Choral Octavo

Alan Billingsley's medley arrangement captures the infectious pop sensibility of the Jonas Brothers while remaining genuinely musical and rewarding to teach. The two-part voicing opens this material to a broader range of choirs without sacrificing the energy that makes these songs resonate with students, and the 23-page score gives you substantial repertoire that students will actually want to sing.

Bright, energetic, and contemporary. The medley format keeps things moving and gives your choir multiple musical moments to inhabit rather than dwelling on a single emotional landscape. This is pop music arranged with genuine craft; it sparkles without being trivial.

Middle school, high school, and adult community choirs looking for contemporary repertoire that engages singers without oversimplifying the musicianship required. Directors seeking material that bridges the gap between what students love listening to and what serves legitimate choral training.

• Balance the melodic line between your two parts; the top voice should sing with clarity and confidence while the lower part maintains rhythmic integrity and harmonic support.
• Let the recorded accompaniment breathe. Don't rush against it, and train your singers to listen actively to the track rather than simply following along.
• Nail the transitions between songs in the medley. Clean cutoffs and crisp entrances at each section change separate a polished performance from one that feels choppy.
• Emphasize the pop rhythmic character throughout. This isn't classical music, and your singers should feel the contemporary groove without losing pitch and blend.

Position this in a pops or pop-influenced concert as an anchor piece that speaks directly to your audience's musical world. The medley structure also makes it ideal for filling out a concert program with substantial content while maintaining variety and forward momentum.

• Singing with rhythmic precision in contemporary pop styles
• Blending and balancing two-part textures
• Following a recorded accompaniment and staying locked with the track
• Phrasing melodies idiomatically for pop sensibilities
• Transitioning cleanly between musical sections in a medley format
