New Arrangement – Resonate

Today’s new for 2023 arrangement is Resonate by Journey.

This SATB opener is intense without being aggressive. The intensity comes from the drive and hauntingly beautiful chord progression that is extended by the vocal melody. There are many vocal moments built into the chart, and plenty of opportunities for visual ones. The dance break is the perfect place to feature a guitar soloist. This arrangement was originally written for Entourage from Naperville North High School in Illinois.

The track features Brian McCallister & Ines Cring on vocals, and Steve Cochran on guitar.

This arrangement, and more than 150 other new ones, will go live in the catalog this Wednesday!

Enjoy!

New Arrangement – Stand in the Light

This SATB ballad will really showcase your group’s vocal abilities. There is a bass clef solo in the beginning before the choir takes over.

This arrangement was originally written for Fast Lane from Glenwood Community High School in Iowa.

This arrangement, and more than 150 other new ones, will go live in my catalog on March 1st.

New Arrangement – Coming Up For No Air

Got another Friday New Release! This idea has been in my brain almost 15 years – in fact, the Sibelius file was started in 2009. I’ve come back to it a few times over the years – adding a little bit, but never finished it – until this week.

This is an SATB opener that combines Coming Up For Air by Storm Lee and No Air by Jordin Sparks. There aren’t any vocals solos (there is an optional guitar solo in the dance break), but it opens with a vocal moment and there are vocal moments throughout the entire chart. The arrangement is mostly the Storm Lee song, but after the middle dance break it pulls back into No Air for a bit of a breather (no pun intended) before it key changes back into a final chorus of Coming Up For Air. This arrangement is new and has never been performed – your choir could be the first!

The track features Ines Cring & Brian McCallister on vocals and Steve Cochran on guitar.

Enjoy!
