More about this title
About the Artist: Lin-Manuel Miranda
Lin-Manuel Miranda is a composer, lyricist, and performer whose work spans Broadway, film, and popular music. His facility with rhythm, rhyme, and melody has made him one of the most influential musical voices of his generation, with compositions reaching audiences far beyond traditional theater contexts.
Miranda's gift for writing material that engages performers of all levels makes his work particularly valuable in educational settings. His melodies are singable, his lyrics are clear, and his sense of rhythmic play invites choirs to bring character and personality to their performances.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's SAB arrangement captures the infectious energy and cheeky spirit of this song without requiring high vocal ranges or complex harmonies. The arrangement sits naturally for three-part mixed voices while maintaining the memorable melodic hooks that make the original so appealing to singers and audiences alike.
What to expect
Sprightly and theatrical, with a vaudeville sensibility that encourages singers to perform with personality and flair. The song bounces along with rhythmic drive and invites singers to embrace the whimsy and humor in both music and text.
Who it's for
Any choir looking for contemporary repertoire with immediate appeal and strong audience connection. The SAB voicing makes it accessible for mixed choirs of varying experience levels, from high school ensembles to community groups.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the rhythm bouncy and conversational; the text should drive the energy forward rather than sit behind the beat.
- Balance the three parts so the top line stays visible without drowning out the harmony underneath.
- Lean into the playfulness of the lyrics and encourage singers to enjoy the wordplay and character.
How to use it
This works beautifully as a concert opener or closer, where its contemporary style and infectious charm can energize an audience. It pairs well with other pop or musical theater selections and offers a refreshing contrast to classical or sacred repertoire on a mixed program.
