About the Arranger: Jack Zaino

Jack Zaino

Jack Zaino brings deep experience in both classroom music education and professional choral arranging. After teaching middle school music in Connecticut public schools, he joined Alfred Music as a choral editor, clinician, and author, where he has become known for arrangements that honor the artistry in contemporary popular music. His work has featured artists ranging from Kacey Musgraves to Lizzo, and he holds degrees in voice and music education from the University of Connecticut, where he was a founding member of the UConn Chamber Singers.

Active in the Connecticut choral community, Zaino was named Young Choral Director of the Year by Connecticut ACDA in 2020 and currently serves as composition chair on their repertoire and resources committee. He also contributes to the programming work of Consonare Choral Community, an organization dedicated to building community through singing.

Why we love this

Zaino's knack for pacing shines here. Three iconic TV themes compressed into three minutes and twenty seconds feels breathless and energetic without sacrificing clarity or singability. The rock-driven style and instantly recognizable material give singers permission to have genuine fun while still executing an arrangement that demands rhythmic precision and stylistic awareness.

What to expect

Nostalgic and exhilarating at once. The three TV themes trigger immediate recognition and affection, while the rock arrangement and brisk pace prevent any sentimentality from slowing things down. It's the musical equivalent of scrolling through a streaming service and landing on a favorite show.

Who it's for

Middle school and high school choirs looking for accessible, high-energy material that connects with student performers and audiences alike. The 2-part voicing makes it feasible for developing ensembles without limiting the musicianship required to nail the rhythmic and stylistic demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock the rhythm section early. The forward momentum of this medley depends on rock-solid ensemble timing, so anchor your rehearsals around the durational relationships between the three themes before layering in interpretation.
  • Lean into the stylistic swagger. This isn't classical music performed in a popular style; it's popular music arranged for choir. Your singers should feel the swagger of rock vocals, not soften their edges into a traditional choir sound.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to internalize the groove. Pop arrangements live and die by their sense of pocket, so let your singers hear where the backbeat sits and how the bass moves underneath the melody.

How to use it

Program this as a statement piece in a concert built around contemporary pop or musical theatre material. Its familiarity and infectious energy make it ideal for opening a show, and its three-minute runtime keeps audiences engaged without overshadowing other selections. It works especially well when audiences span generations, since the '80s, '90s, and 2000s references have genuinely broad appeal.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in a rock-style groove
  • Stylistic interpretation of popular music idioms
  • Ensemble synchronization across tempo changes
  • Singing through dynamic contrasts and textural shifts
  • Connecting melodic material across medley sections
