So You Think You Can Dance (Medley): SATB Choral Octavo

Brymer captures the infectious appeal of the source material without relying on gimmick or oversimplification. This medley gives your singers genuine entertainment value while the SATB writing remains rhythmically engaging and vocally sensible, making it rewarding for both performers and audiences.

Bright, rhythmically propulsive, and modern. The medley structure creates momentum and variety, keeping both singers and listeners engaged across the arc of the piece. There's genuine fun here without irony.

Choirs seeking programming that connects with student singers and contemporary audiences without sacrificing musical credibility. This works equally well for concert settings, pop-heavy shows, or any context where you need material that's energetic and accessible.

• Keep the rhythmic precision sharp throughout. The pop idiom demands clarity in the ensemble's attack and release, especially on syncopated figures.
• Balance the melodic material across sections. Even when sopranos carry the hook, support from altos and tenors prevents the sound from thinning in ensemble sections.
• Let the accompaniment track establish the groove early. Have singers listen to at least one full run-through before rehearsal so they arrive familiar with the harmonic pocket.

Pair this with one or two other contemporary arrangements to build a themed set, or slot it into a mixed concert to shift the energy after a classical work. It's also an excellent choice for spring shows or any concert where you want to close strong with something the audience will immediately recognize.

• Rhythmic precision in syncopated pop styles
• Blend and balance in four-part SATB writing
• Stylistic awareness and interpretation of contemporary music
• Confidence singing over recorded accompaniments
