More about this title

About the Artist: Pentatonix

Pentatonix redefined a cappella for the contemporary era. As a five-member vocal group founded in 2011, they've built a global fanbase by layering intricate vocal arrangements with beatboxing and pop sensibility, winning a Grammy Award and earning multiple platinum certifications. Their approach to harmony and production has influenced how young singers think about ensemble texture and vocal percussion.

Why we love this

Wayne Grimmer's arrangement captures the distinctive sound Pentatonix created on this track while making it accessible for school choirs. The barbershop voicing framework gives singers clear harmonic roles without sacrificing the contemporary energy that makes this song engaging for student performers.

What to expect

Energetic and modern, yet grounded in the harmonic warmth barbershop voicing provides. The piece builds momentum through its layers, creating moments of vocal unity that feel both satisfying and contemporary.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with students through familiar material. This arrangement works equally well for developing high school singers and experienced adult groups looking to explore a cappella voicing beyond traditional methods.

How to get the most out of it

  • Nail the rhythmic precision in the opening statements. The impact depends on locked articulation across all four parts from measure one.
  • Balance the solo melody line with accompaniment voices. The featured part needs to float above without drowning out the harmonic foundation underneath.
  • Experiment with dynamic contrast between verse and chorus sections to build momentum. This arrangement rewards singers who shape the overall arc carefully.
  • Emphasize the vowel consistency within each phrase. Barbershop voicing reveals tuning issues quickly, so locked vowels become your best tool for blend.

How to use it

Include this in concerts where you're mixing established choral traditions with current musical voices. It pairs well in programs that feature a cappella selections or works that highlight vocal arrangement craft. Consider programming it alongside other pop or contemporary arrangements to show your students how genre boundaries inform harmonic choices.
