What Could Be Better Than This? (from Moana 2) (arr. Alan Billingsley): SATB Choral Octavo

Billingsley's arrangement captures the infectious optimism of this Moana 2 track while keeping the vocal writing accessible and energetic for student choirs. The SATB voicing sits comfortably across typical high school and collegiate ranges, and the 13 pages offer enough musical substance to engage your singers without overwhelming rehearsal time. You get Disney's signature melodic charm filtered through an arranger who knows exactly how to make school choirs sound polished and confident.

Bright, youthful energy infused with the warmth and humor of the film's soundtrack. The arrangement maintains the track's celebratory spirit while grounding the voices in clear harmonic support, creating a performance that feels both joyful and musically intentional.

High school and adult community choirs seeking contemporary repertoire with immediate appeal and strong singability. This works equally well for ensembles preparing a concert featuring film and pop arrangements or for groups wanting to add current material that engages student performers.

• Keep the rhythmic drive buoyant and forward; resist the temptation to drag the half notes and quarter note rests that punctuate the phrase endings.
• Balance the four voice parts by rehearsing each line independently first, then layering them slowly so no one part dominates during the full arrangement.
• Articulate consonants crisply on words beginning the melodic phrases to maintain clarity and rhythmic precision across all sections.

Program this as a crowd-pleasing finale or closer that resonates with audiences familiar with the movie; it works beautifully in spring concerts or programs built around popular film music. The accessible musical language and feel-good character also make it a strong choice for pops concerts or family events where you want student performers to sound polished without material that demands months of rehearsal.
