The unofficial king of "happy pop," Andy Grammer's 2022 hit Joy takes us through his experience navigating many different emotions before finally finding joy and its life-changing effects. The song is a gospel-influenced stomp powered by a strong floor tom groove. The arrangement is mainly choral throughout, but it also features a brief solo right before the final chorus. Perfect for any performance occasion, it also makes a great closer! 11408191E SATB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11408192E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11408193E SSA ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 Land of Confusion—arr. Anita Cracauer. This 1986 hit by Phil Collins & Genesis packs a serious rock and roll punch! It works equally well with rhythm section only or full horn section accompaniment options. It features a wailing soloist in the middle and full choral harmonies that showcase that '80s sound. 11394491E SATB divisi ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.00 11394492E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.00 11394493E SSA ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.00 Live and Let Die—Paul & Linda McCartney/arr. Anita Cracauer. This arrangement of the classic James Bond title sequence by Paul McCartney and Wings stays true to the original form, but with an edgier, more modern sound. It features a solo for the first section but allows plenty of room to feature your dancers. Short and powerful, it makes a great opener! 11394499E SATB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11394500E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11394501E SSA ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 Meet Me on the Battlefield—arr. Anita Cracauer. This hit song by pop singer Svrcina is about soldiers tirelessly fighting an unending war. Another possible interpretation is that of a couple going through relationship struggles as if they were on a battlefield, so this can work in shows with a variety of themes. This arrangement features a lengthy solo for the first verse and chorus that gradually grows into a full choral setting that transitions through multiple key changes effectively. 11396439E SATB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11396440E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11396441E SSA ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 Middle of a Moment (from "James and the Giant Peach")—Benj Pasek & Justin Paul/arr. Anita Cracauer. Penned by the songwriting dynamic duo Pasek & Paul ("Dear Evan Hansen"; "The Greatest Showman"), this tune from "James and the Giant Peach" is a great ensemble feature for your choir. Piano-led, playful, and upbeat, the lyrics deal with the magic of living in the moment. It's the perfect change- of-pace selection with character, and it offers the option for an opening solo. 11394512E SATB divisi ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11394513E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11394514E SSA ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 Mr. Roboto—Dennis DeYoung/arr. Anita Cracauer. The classic 1983 song from Styx is a great novelty piece that will be enjoyed by all. From the introduction with Japanese lyrics to themes of AI and technology to the robotic feel of the melody, it really speaks just as strongly today as it did then. This fresh arrangement will function well within many show themes as an opener or as a transition piece. 11402622E SATB divisi ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11402621E SAB ePrint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 11402623E TTB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ME 3.00 Never Alone—Jesse Bonanno/arr.
