Put Another Dime In The Jukebox (Medley): 2-Part Choral Octavo

Billingsley strips these jukebox favorites down to their essential pop energy without sacrificing the melodic hooks that make them memorable. The two-part voicing stays accessible while giving singers real musical lines to sink their teeth into, and the medley structure lets you build momentum across multiple familiar songs without forcing transitions that feel forced.

Infectious and nostalgic all at once. The medley format lets you bounce between different eras of pop hits while keeping the same infectious energy throughout. Singers get to inhabit the spirit of classic jukebox songs without needing a full band or extensive jazz phrasing.

Any choir looking to program contemporary rock and pop repertoire that engages audiences without requiring soloists or complex harmonic vocabulary. This works equally well for mixed or treble choirs seeking material that feels current and accessible to singers still building confidence.

• Keep the rhythmic drive steady across song transitions; these are jukebox hits because of their groove, so lock the tempo and resist rushing between medley sections.
• Blend the two parts equally through the sustained passages; the strength of these arrangements often comes from how the parts support each other rather than any single melodic line.
• Layer in dynamic contrast from the top of each new song; since audiences recognize these tunes immediately, you can afford to lean into sudden volume shifts and articulation changes that make each medley section feel fresh.
• Nail the final moments with precision; pop medleys live or die on their endings, so rehearse the last few measures repeatedly until the cutoff feels both intentional and effortless.

Pair this with one or two other pop or rock selections to build a contemporary set for your spring concert or pop show. The medley's 18 pages give it enough substance to hold its own while its familiarity makes it an ideal bridge between more formal choral repertoire and newer styles your singers might not expect from a choir.

• Rhythmic precision in pop and rock styles
• Two-part blend and balance
• Interpreting style and groove from notation
• Sustaining energy across a medley without losing musical coherence
• Vocal articulation appropriate to contemporary music
