Pulled (from The Addams Family) (arr. Ed Lojeski): SATB Choral Octavo

Lojeski captures the unsettling charm of this number with voicings that let the melody breathe while maintaining the dark humor of the original. It's a rare arrangement that honors both the song's comedic spine and its genuine emotional creepiness, giving your singers material that's genuinely fun to perform.

Darkly playful and rhythmically infectious. The piece dances between moments of sinister charm and genuine melodic warmth, creating an arrangement that feels contemporary yet rooted in solid choral craft.

Choirs seeking Broadway material that's both musically interesting and a genuine crowd-pleaser. This works for groups comfortable with theatrical expression and looking to program contemporary concert music that brings an audience into the world of Addams Family.

• Balance the narrative clarity of the text with the underlying harmonic sophistication; the story matters as much as the chords.
• Lean into the rhythmic precision of any syncopated passages to keep the piece from sounding sluggish or overly academic.
• Let dynamic contrast shape the drama: resist the urge to keep everything at a consistent volume when the arrangement likely signals when to pull back and when to push forward.
• Communicate the theatrical intent with your soloists if the arrangement features any section-specific moments or featured passages.

Pair this with other theatrical selections for a Broadway-themed concert, or use it as a palate cleanser alongside classical or traditional repertoire to showcase your choir's versatility. The 10-page score makes it substantial enough to anchor a set while remaining accessible for groups looking to expand their popular music offerings.
