About the Arranger: Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley

Alan Billingsley brings decades of versatility across composition, arrangement, orchestration, and production. His catalog spans educational choral and instrumental music, commercial recordings, television and film work (including the NBC series Days of Our Lives), theme park attractions for Disney, and theatrical productions. Seven of his compositions have received Grammy consideration, and he recently contributed ten original songs to the Broadway-style musical On Our Way.

Billingsley's education at Indiana University combined music with psychology, informing his instinctive approach to writing for singers. He has served as a clinician at Disney's Magic Music Days and maintains an active recording studio in Los Angeles, where he produces and engineers music across multiple genres and formats.

Why we love this

Billingsley's superhits arrangements strike the balance that directors crave: polished, energetic writing that doesn't demand vocal gymnastics from non-auditioned choirs. The recorded accompaniment lets you hear exactly how the piece should sit, making rehearsal efficient and giving singers confidence as they prepare for performance.

What to expect

These arrangements capture the energy and accessibility of hit songs while honoring their original character. Expect driving rhythms, clean voicing, and the kind of musical satisfaction that comes from singing something the audience already loves.

Who it's for

This arrangement works for concert choirs, show choirs, and general music ensembles seeking contemporary material with immediate appeal. It suits singers at the high school and adult community levels who want to perform music from popular culture without needing advanced vocal technique.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the recording guide your tempos in early rehearsals, then gradually shift to independent conducting once singers internalize the groove.
  • Balance the energy across all voice parts; these arrangements thrive on rhythmic precision and ensemble blend rather than individual soloists.
  • If using the accompaniment in performance, rehearse with it frequently enough that any slight timing variations feel natural, not mechanical.

How to use it

Program this as a crowd-pleasing concert moment or as the anchor of a pops-themed concert. The recorded accompaniment makes it ideal for spring concerts where rehearsal time is limited or for performances where you want to focus your energy on stage presence and ensemble connection rather than instrumental support.

Skills your students will build
