You're Welcome (from Moana) (arr. Mark Brymer): SATB Choral Octavo

Brymer captures the swagger and island warmth of Opetaia Foa'i's original while crafting a four-part arrangement that gives every voice a moment to shine. The piece respects your singers' ability to handle rhythmic precision and contemporary harmonies without requiring a professional cast.

You're Welcome carries the infectious confidence of its source material, layered with the lush, sun-soaked harmonies that define the Moana soundtrack. Singers deliver the swagger and humor of the text while inhabiting a rich harmonic landscape that rewards careful listening.

This arrangement works beautifully for middle school through high school choirs seeking repertoire that connects with students' lives. It's equally valuable for mixed ensembles performing pops concerts, film music tributes, or end-of-year shows.

• Nail the rhythmic precision in the verses by having singers think in eighth-note subdivisions; the contemporary groove falls apart quickly if anyone rushes or drags.
• Layer the dynamic build from verse to chorus carefully. The arrangement creates natural peaks, but they only land if you're deliberate about the contrast between sections.
• Balance the soprano line so it cuts through during the hook without overwhelming the other voices, especially when the bass and altos carry harmonic weight.

This pairs naturally in a contemporary or film music set where it can anchor the energy of a pops concert. It also works as a standout selection in a program mixing film scores, showing your choir's range from classical repertoire to current pop culture.

• rhythmic precision in contemporary/syncopated idioms
• balancing soprano solos against fuller harmonic textures
• singing in the contemporary pop/R&B style with rhythmic integrity
• ensemble blend across four SATB parts with distinct harmonic roles
