New Arrangement – Thick Skin/I Didn’t Know My Own Strength

Today’s New for 2023 Featured Arrangement is a medley of Thick Skin by Leona Lewis and I Didn’t Know My Own Strength by Whitney Houston.

This SATB ballad begins soft and tenderly with a treble solo. The choir comes in at the chorus before the gears change to the next tune and a bass clef soloist takes over. The choir builds in under the soloist before again taking the reins at the chorus. The chorus builds to a big a cappella vocal moment before the band comes back in for a key change into the last chorus. The two soloists come back in at the end and the chart ends as tenderly as it began. This arrangement was originally written for Synergy from Johnston High School in Iowa.

The track features Ines Cring & Brian McCallister on vocals, and Brock at the keys on guitar 🙂

This arrangement, and more than 150 other new ones, are now available in the catalog.

New Arrangement – Made You Look

Time for another New and Never Performed Catalog release. This week is Made You Look by Meghan Trainor.

This SSA number is the perfect change of pace after an opener with more drive. The arrangement features a soloist backed up by the choir, before the choir takes over at the chorus. With hints of ‘I Can Hear the Bells’ from Hairspray, this chart can be performed with all the character and sass your singers have to offer! The vocal harmonies are tight and the dance breaks are beefed up from the original so they can really be danced to. This chart is new and has never been performed, your choir could be the first.

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