Ripple (Cut Song) (from Spirited) (arr. Audrey Snyder): 3-Part Mixed Choral Octavo

Audrey Snyder's arrangement captures the warmth and accessibility of the original while making it genuinely singable for mixed voices at this level. The pop sensibility never gets lost, so your singers stay engaged even as they're developing their craft on contemporary material.

A gentle, reflective moment with modern sensibility. The arrangement carries the intimate character of the film version while inviting voices to blend into something warm and unified, creating space for both musical interest and emotional clarity.

Choirs seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with younger singers and audiences without sacrificing musical substance. This works equally well for holiday concerts, pop-focused programs, or as a standalone seasonal feature.

• Balance the three parts so no single line dominates the texture; the beauty here lives in how the voices blend rather than stand out individually.
• Pay attention to the phrasing suggested by the lyrical content. These melodies are conversational, so treat them like speech with musical shape rather than purely melodic lines.
• Let the recorded accompaniment establish the groove early in rehearsals so your singers can internalize the rhythmic pocket before focusing on blend and balance.
• Shape the dynamics carefully around the emotional arc. The arrangement likely builds in intensity, so map those peaks and valleys together as an ensemble.

Pair this with other contemporary holiday songs for a pop-influenced set, or program it during a section of your concert that spotlights film and television music. Its 3-part voicing makes it accessible to developing singers while still offering sophisticated listeners something genuinely moving.

• Balancing three independent melodic lines into cohesive blend
• Phrasing pop melody with awareness of lyrical content
• Intonation in contemporary harmonic contexts
• Rhythmic precision with a steady groove-based accompaniment
