More about this title

Why we love this

Jay Althouse captures the infectious energy of these two rock 'n' roll classics while keeping the vocal lines accessible and fun. His arrangement respects the original character of both songs, making them work beautifully for singers who may have grown up with different repertoire but will immediately connect to the spirit of the era.

What to expect

Pure fun and energy. These arrangements channel the swagger and straightforward musicality of 1950s pop and rock, with driving rhythms and melodies that stick in your head. The wet theme ties the two songs together playfully while the familiar hooks make singers feel the reward of quick learning.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking repertoire that brings joy and accessibility to rehearsals while connecting singers to rock 'n' roll history. This works well for groups looking to program secular, upbeat material that engages audiences and students alike without demanding advanced sight-reading or vocal maturity.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the rhythm section parts; the groove drives these arrangements, so lock the pulse early and keep it steady through rehearsals.
  • Emphasize the period details (scoops, rhythmic phrasing, that classic rock 'n' roll attitude) without oversinging the melodic line.
  • If using the recorded accompaniment, rehearse with it multiple times before performance so singers internalize the energy and timing of the original recordings.
  • The TB arrangement offers a chance to feature a smaller vocal group; consider how this bridges the two songs or provides textural contrast in your concert sequence.

How to use it

Pair these as a set within a pop or rock-themed concert, or use them to open a program that needs immediate audience engagement and a lift in mood. The extra TB arrangement makes a natural opportunity for a spotlight moment mid-concert or as an encore.

Skills your students will build

  • Rock 'n' roll style and phrasing conventions
  • Ensemble rhythmic precision in driving pop arrangements
  • Period-appropriate articulation and vocal tone
  • Reading and performing from recorded accompaniment tracks
