We Are Young (The Best Of Glee Season 3) (Medley): 2-Part Choral Octavo

This medley captures some of Season 3's most infectious moments in a 2-part voicing that works for developing choirs without sacrificing the pop energy that makes Glee arrangements so engaging. Adam Anders and Peer Astrom know how to write for young singers, and this collection gives you multiple songs in one rehearsal package, maximizing repertoire variety with minimal page turns.

Joyful and propulsive, with the kind of infectious optimism that made Glee's best moments resonate. The 2-part writing keeps things accessible while maintaining the vocal brightness and rhythmic drive that defines the show's signature sound.

Directors building concerts that speak to current students, whether through nostalgia or direct connection to the show itself. This works equally well for middle school choirs developing comfort with pop idioms and high school groups seeking contemporary material with built-in energy.

• Lock in the rhythmic pocket early. These arrangements sit in contemporary grooves that need precision in the rhythm section to land properly.
• Balance brightness in the upper voices with warmth in the lower part. The 2-part voicing works best when both sections are equally present, not when the top floats away.
• Lean into the stylistic shifts between songs. Each track in the medley has its own character; transitions matter more than smoothness.

Build a concert around beloved pop and film/TV hits, or use this as a show finale that connects with audiences who know the source material. The medley format makes it ideal for spring concerts, holiday programs, or any concert where contemporary energy balances out your classical selections.

• Pop and rock phrasing within a choral context
• Reading and sustaining rhythmic syncopation
• Blending contemporary harmony with traditional 2-part writing
• Following arrangement cues across multiple song sections
