ME! (arr. Audrey Snyder): 2-Part Choral Octavo

Audrey Snyder's arrangement captures the infectious joy of this track while keeping the vocal writing accessible for developing singers. The 2-part voicing keeps ensemble management straightforward without sacrificing the contemporary energy that makes this song immediately recognizable to students.

Playful and buoyant, with the kind of modern pop sensibility that makes singers smile when they're learning it. The arrangement feels confident and fun without demanding the vocal maturity of classical art song literature.

Middle school and high school choirs seeking contemporary repertoire that engages singers with material they actually listen to. Directors building mixed or treble choirs will find this 2-part voicing straightforward to balance while maintaining musical interest.

• Keep the rhythmic delivery crisp and precise. This song thrives on rhythmic precision rather than legit operatic phrasing; precision in the lyrics lands the humor and personality.
• Balance the two parts so neither drowns the other. The arrangement likely features moments where both parts share melodic duties, so clarity on who carries the line matters.
• Work the diction carefully through any sections with rapid text delivery. Pop songs often compress words, and articulation will keep the arrangement sounding polished.

This works beautifully as a contemporary showcase piece on a concert mixing classical and pop selections, or as an energizer in a pop or musical theatre themed program. Its 15-page length keeps it manageable within a rehearsal cycle, making it ideal for spring concerts when you want to highlight what engaging your students means.

• Rhythmic accuracy in contemporary/syncopated rhythmic patterns
• Diction and word clarity in pop/musical theatre style
• Part independence in 2-part writing
• Stylistic flexibility beyond classical choral conventions
• Confidence singing music within students' own cultural and listening experience
