About the Arranger: Greg Gilpin
Greg Gilpin brings decades of experience as both a conductor and arranger to his work with choral ensembles across the country. His arrangements have been performed at major venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Sydney Opera House, and he serves as Director of Educational Choral Publications for Shawnee Press. An ASCAP award-winning musician and member of ACDA and NAfME, Gilpin has built a reputation for creating accessible, engaging choral literature that works in real rehearsal rooms.
Beyond his work in music, Gilpin has expanded his expertise into professional organizing and financial coaching, appearing on network television and the documentary series "Hoarders."

Whether conducting, arranging, or composing, Gilpin remains committed to the choral art form and music education.
Why we love this
Gilpin and Schmutte understand what audiences love about classic Hollywood, and they've packaged those iconic moments into a medley that feels fresh rather than nostalgic. The dramatic scope and built-in recognition of these M-G-M standards will draw genuine applause, while the SAB voicing keeps the arrangement within reach for mixed high school choirs without sacrificing sophistication.
What to expect
This medley captures the glamour and emotional sweep of classic Hollywood cinema. Expect moments of elegance and nostalgia woven together with enough theatrical flair to keep both singers and audiences engaged from start to finish.
Who it's for
High school choirs looking for a crowd-pleasing concert piece will find this medley both vocally accessible and dramatically satisfying. Show choirs can use it as a full production number, while concert choirs benefit from the dramatic arc and built-in audience recognition. The SAB voicing works well for mixed ensembles where not all singers are advanced sight-readers.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the recorded accompaniment carefully during rehearsal; the orchestral track is full and can easily cover younger singers if they're placed too far back in the room.
- Explore the movement and staging suggestions embedded in the score to add visual interest that matches the theatrical energy of these Hollywood classics.
- Use an early run-through with the full orchestral recording to help singers internalize the tempos and phrasing before drilling individual passages.
How to use it
Program this as a centerpiece for a spring pops concert or as the finale of a mixed repertoire show where it will land with maximum impact. It pairs well alongside other contemporary choral pop arrangements and gives audiences the satisfaction of recognizing beloved melodies.
