Together In Electric Dreams (arr. Jake Alexander): SSA Choral Octavo

Jake Alexander's SSA arrangement captures the dreamy, synth-driven aesthetic of the original while making it genuinely singable for younger or developing voices. The sparse, modern approach to voicing lets the melody shine without requiring advanced harmonic reading, making this an excellent entry point for choirs exploring pop repertoire that feels current and cool rather than didactic.

Ethereal and introspective, with the dreamlike quality suggested by the title. The arrangement maintains the hushed intimacy of the original synth-pop recording, creating space for voices rather than filling every corner with sound. There's a modern restraint here that feels intentional and stylish.

Treble choirs and SSA ensembles looking to program contemporary pop arrangements that don't oversimplify the original. This works equally well for middle school choirs with solid fundamentals and high school groups seeking accessible but artistically satisfying pop selections.

• Shape the sustained, floating quality of the opening by maintaining consistent air support rather than trying to add vibrato; let the simplicity of the voicing create its own atmosphere
• Balance the texture by keeping inner voices subsidiary to the top line; this arrangement trades lush harmonies for clean, almost electronic clarity
• Experiment with slight tempo flexibility at phrases ends to mirror the dreamy, electronic feel without losing ensemble cohesion

Feature this in a concert exploring 1980s pop or electronic music's impact on contemporary songwriting. Its brief length and accessible difficulty make it a strong closer for a lighter, pop-themed concert or a compelling contrast when programmed alongside traditional choral work to show the range of what choirs can sing.

• Singing sustained lines with consistent breath support over open voicing
• Maintaining clarity and intonation in minimalist harmonic textures
• Interpreting style and character in contemporary pop arrangements
• Balancing ensemble blend when inner voices support rather than double the melody
