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

Jake Alexander's SAB arrangement captures the dreamy, layered quality of the original while making it genuinely singable for mixed voices. The arrangement respects the song's atmospheric character without demanding excessive technical facility, so your singers can focus on blend and the languid phrasing that makes this tune memorable.

Floating through neon-lit space, suspended between wistfulness and yearning. The piece maintains the original's synth-pop dreaminess while letting voices become the primary vehicle for its emotional core, creating an intimate quality that recorded synths can't quite achieve.

Choirs seeking accessible pop repertoire with genuine artistic merit. This arrangement works for middle school through adult ensembles looking to engage audiences with recognizable material that doesn't compromise musical standards.

• Balance the alto line carefully in the verses; it carries melodic contour that shouldn't disappear beneath the soprano section.
• Treat the electronic production elements as your interpretive sandbox. Your accompaniment doesn't need to replicate synthesizers exactly; shape the arrangement to what works acoustically in your space.
• Lock the rhythmic precision in the chorus sections. The song's appeal hinges partly on clean, together articulation against the floating, legato passages elsewhere.

Pair this with other 1980s pop hits to create a program highlighting the decade's sonic innovations, or use it as a contemporary bridge in a concert mixing classic standards with modern material. It's also strong as a featured piece in a lighter, youth-focused concert that celebrates popular music.

• Sustaining long, legato lines without losing pitch definition
• Blending three distinct vocal lines with equal weight
• Interpreting stylistic nuance in pop arrangements
• Listening across voicings to maintain harmonic balance
