More about this title

About the Composer: Mack David

Mack David was a prolific songwriter and composer who shaped the sound of American popular music and animation throughout the mid-twentieth century. His gift for crafting instantly memorable melodies and witty lyrics made him a go-to voice for Broadway, film, and television; he earned multiple Academy Award nominations and won a Tony for his work on "Li'l Abner." His music defined entire eras of entertainment because it balanced sophistication with accessibility, always keeping the audience's joy at the center.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures everything that makes the original such a showstopper: the brassy fanfare, the infectious two-beat swing, and enough personality to fill a concert hall. Sally K. Albrecht has written for flexibility without sacrificing energy, so whether you're working with a youth choir or a 200-voice ensemble, the piece lands with the same infectious confidence. It's the rare novelty number that your singers will actually want to rehearse.

What to expect

Pure theatrical joy. The opening fanfare announces that something delightful is about to happen, and the bright harmonies and playful rhythms deliver exactly that promise. There's a built-in sense of showmanship here, the kind that makes audiences lean forward in their seats.

Who it's for

Any choir looking to program a genuine crowd-pleaser that works equally well for middle school groups and accomplished adult ensembles. The SoundPax format means you can perform with or without soloists, making it adaptable to your specific singers.

How to get the most out of it

  • Nail the rhythmic precision of the opening fanfare before layering in the vocals. That crisp articulation sets the tone for the entire piece and tells your audience they're in for something fun.
  • Keep the two-beat feel bouncy but grounded. It should swing naturally without feeling pushed; think Vaudeville energy rather than frantic.
  • The movement and staging sections are written into the score for a reason. Blocking those moments during rehearsal transforms what could be a pleasant choral number into genuine theater.
  • Balance the recorded accompaniment so it supports rather than overpowers your ensemble, especially in the verse sections where storytelling matters more than volume.

How to use it

Open a spring concert with this number and you've set a tone of celebration and energy that carries through the rest of your program. It also works beautifully as a finale if you want your audience to leave smiling and humming a melody they'll remember for days.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in two-beat feels and syncopated rhythms
  • Coordinating vocals with movement and staging cues
  • Balancing ensemble blend when working with recorded accompaniment
  • Sustaining bright vowel production and articulation at tempo
  • Following theatrical phrasing while maintaining choral unity
