About the Artist: Pentatonix
Pentatonix has fundamentally changed how young singers think about their voices and what's possible in an ensemble. The group's innovative approach to arranging and vocal production has inspired countless choirs to experiment with contemporary sounds, rhythmic precision, and percussive vocal techniques. Their influence extends far beyond the concert stage into classrooms and rehearsal rooms worldwide, where directors now routinely integrate a cappella voicings and beatboxing into their musical offerings.
What makes Pentatonix significant in music education is their accessibility. Their arrangements celebrate the human voice as a complete instrument, making contemporary music feel achievable for singers at all levels. Their advocacy for vocal music has genuinely expanded the repertoire conversations that happen in schools, reminding students that singing popular, recognizable songs with technical sophistication is deeply musical work.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures exactly why Pentatonix resonates with singers: the energy is infectious, the message is affirmative, and Mark Brymer has crafted parts that let every voice in the ensemble feel the joy. The vocal writing sits naturally for mixed choirs while maintaining enough rhythmic detail to keep rehearsals engaging and performance fresh.
What to expect
Pure optimism wrapped in contemporary production. The piece radiates the kind of joy that comes from singers fully committing to their voices, with rhythmic drive and harmonic richness that make everyone in the ensemble sound and feel excellent. It's the sonic equivalent of windows down and hands in the air.
Who it's for
Mixed choirs looking for contemporary repertoire that feels both singable and musically substantial. Students who grew up with Pentatonix will connect to this immediately, but the arrangement is crafted to work for any ensemble seeking an uplifting, energetic celebration of vocal music.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic precision in the accompaniment parts early. The groove depends on crisp articulation and locked rhythms across all voice parts, so establish subdivisions in rehearsal before layering in the melody.
- Lean into the dynamic contrast between verses and the full-voice sections. The arrangement gains power through deliberate restraint, so resist the urge to sing everything at full volume from the start.
- Consider which singers will carry the main melody and which will anchor the harmonic foundation. Pentatonix thrives on clear vocal leadership, so assigning voices intentionally will bring out the arrangement's personality.
- Use the recorded accompaniment to lock the groove, but leave space in rehearsal to hear your ensemble's own interpretation. The a cappella DNA of this piece means your singers can shape the phrasing and breathing to feel genuinely personal.
How to use it
This works as a concert opener or closer that sends audiences home energized. Pair it with other contemporary selections to demonstrate your choir's range, or use it as a standalone joyful moment in a mixed program where it will stand out through sheer vocal optimism and accessibility.
