More about this title
About the Composer: Wayne Kirkpatrick
Wayne Kirkpatrick has established himself as a composer and lyricist for film and television, bringing contemporary sensibilities to animated features and family entertainment. His work balances accessibility with genuine musicality, creating songs that engage both young performers and audiences without sacrificing craft.
Why we love this
Andy Beck's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while making it genuinely singable across four parts. The "Yeti oh-oh" hook lands immediately, giving your choir a memorable moment that audiences will recognize and enjoy, and the pop rhythms keep singers engaged without overwhelming less experienced ensembles.
What to expect
Upbeat and confident, with a modern pop sound that feels current without being trendy. The piece radiates optimism and lightness, inviting singers into a groove that's immediately satisfying to perform.
Who it's for
Mixed choirs at the middle school through adult community level will find this arrangement accessible and fun. The part-writing avoids extreme ranges while the pop idiom appeals to singers who respond to contemporary styles and recognizable material.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rhythmic feel early in rehearsal by having singers tap the backbeat along with the recorded accompaniment; this groove-based song depends on confident rhythmic security from all sections.
- Shape the "Yeti oh-oh" hook with playful clarity. Let sopranos and altos brighten on the high notes while keeping tenors and basses rhythmically tight underneath.
- Balance the verses so the melodic line (likely in sopranos) cuts through clearly while inner voices maintain the groove without oversinging.
- Emphasize the optimistic text delivery in the message sections; teen and adult singers will connect with the theme when the lyrics feel genuinely performed, not rushed.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary pop arrangements for a spring or family concert that speaks to younger audiences and their families. The motivational message and movie tie-in make it especially effective as a bridge between your traditional repertoire and pieces that excite newer singers to the ensemble.
Skills your students will build
- Singing in a pop/contemporary style with rhythmic precision
- Balancing melody-driven sopranos with supporting harmonic parts
- Maintaining groove and backbeat coordination across four parts
- Interpreting secular text with genuine expressive commitment
