About the Composer: Meghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor is a singer, songwriter, and producer known for blending retro pop sensibilities with contemporary production. Her work across pop, R&B, and vocal music has made her a recognizable voice in modern music, and her compositions often feature strong rhythmic grooves and memorable melodies that translate well to ensemble settings.
Trainor's collaboration with Jimmy Fallon on "Wrap Me Up" showcases her ability to write accessible, high-energy material suited for group performance. Her songs emphasize rhythmic clarity and infectious hooks, qualities that Chris M. Bernotas has preserved in this concert band arrangement.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures the infectious groove of the original without overwhelming younger players. Bernotas has crafted parts that let students feel the pop sensibility while keeping the technical demands at an accessible level, making it rewarding to teach and energizing to perform. The festive context and contemporary source material give your winter concert a current, engaging feel that resonates with audiences.
What to expect
Festive and rhythmically driven, with an irresistible pop groove that keeps the energy high and the mood celebratory. The arrangement maintains the catchy, singable quality of the original while adapting it for band sonorities, creating a piece that feels both current and fun to perform.
Who it's for
This works for middle school and high school concert bands seeking accessible pop repertoire with immediate appeal. The 2.5 grade level and 2:20 duration make it manageable for programs with developing players while remaining engaging enough for more advanced ensembles looking to program contemporary material.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the groove locked between the rhythm section and the melodic voices. The arrangement's appeal depends on that steady pocket, so balance matters more than volume.
- Articulation in the woodwinds and brass drives the character. Crisp, short attacks on rhythmic figures will shine through the arrangement and keep the energy bright.
- Let the percussion anchor the festive feel. The arrangement relies on clear rhythmic definition from drums and mallets to maintain that pop sensibility throughout.
- Take advantage of the recorded accompaniment if available for rehearsals, allowing you to focus on ensemble blend and section balance without conducting the full arrangement.
How to use it
Position this as an upbeat opener or closer for your winter concert to set a contemporary, celebratory tone. It pairs well alongside traditional holiday fare, offering audiences a modern contrast that keeps the program dynamic and age-appropriate.
