Viva La Diva! (Medley featuring Songs from Glee): SSA Choral Octavo

Arrangers Brymer, Davis, and Anders crafted these medleys with genuine understanding of what makes SSA groups sound full and confident; the voicings sit beautifully in the female range without requiring soloists to strain upward. Programming a Glee medley signals to your audience that you're meeting students where their musical interests actually live, which builds energy in the room and on stage.

Energetic, theatrical, and unapologetically fun. The medley format lets you shift between moments of vocal intimacy and full-voiced celebration, keeping both singers and listeners engaged throughout.

Choirs with solid sight-reading skills and confidence singing contemporary material. This works best for high school groups and strong middle school programs looking to program something that feels current without requiring complex vocal technique.

• Lock the rhythmic unison sections first; the power of this medley comes from moments where all three parts move together, and those need precision before layering in the harmonic material.
• Balance your soprano and alto blend carefully during sustained chords; female voices can blur together at high volumes, so dial back the sopranos slightly and let the altos anchor the harmony.
• Emphasize the stylistic shifts between songs in the medley. Each piece has its own character, and moving through them with clear energy changes keeps the piece from feeling monotonous across 21 pages.

Ideal for a spring concert finale or as your opening number if you want immediate audience connection. The pop repertoire appeals to concert attendees who might not otherwise think of choir as relevant to their musical lives, making it valuable for community engagement and recruitment.

• Blending sustained vowels in three-part female voicing
• Navigating rhythmic variety across pop and Broadway styles
• Performing with stylistic confidence in a contemporary idiom
• Managing 21 pages of material with multiple song transitions
