A through-composed treatment with descant parts.  Exciting, powerful, fun-to-sing; always a crowd-pleaser as an opener or closer.

Analysis at SmarterMusic

Difficulty: 3/5

Fun and easy-going, with some challenging parts, interesting syllables and rhythmic bell-chords.  Very solid and singable.

Difficulty: 3/5

Fantastic arrangement that holds its own in small groups; don’t miss this one on a nostalgia tour.

Difficulty: 4/5

Ethereal verses, declamatory chorus, and climactic choral bridge combine to convey the lyrics’ powerful message.  Highly recommended.

Difficulty: 2/5

A faux-barbershop version of the classic father-daughter song.

Difficulty: 2/5

Interesting but intuitive chromatic voice-leading here helps train half-steps, and backup singers supply lyrical callbacks.  An adventurous ending.

Difficulty: 4/5

Requires an all-star bass section, but the upper voices are fantastically fun to sing, varied, clever, exciting, and interesting.  Especially with a good soloist, this chart isn’t to be missed!  Top of the line block writing brings out the best in everybody.

Analysis at SmarterMusic

Difficulty: 5/5

Inspired by Stevie Wonder’s original, this highly chromatic and syncopated song is complex and well arranged for slightly smaller groups of skilled singers.  Descant parts at the end makes this perfect for an octet.

Difficulty: 1/5

A silly take on an old favorite, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme thrown in for fun.

Difficulty: 3/5

Great for smaller groups, this chart is written for strictly four parts plus soloist.  Clever part-writing creates novel textures that are fun to sing and natural-sounding.  An excellent hard-rock song!

Difficulty: 3/5

After a daringly exposed intro, superb block-writing and varied textures propel this one forward.  Room for a soloist and harmonist as well.

Difficulty: 4/5

A complicated song with many parts, but written to be parsimonious and clear.  Very exciting and fun!

Difficulty: 3/5

Solid, easy to learn arrangement.  Chromatic at times, with a very challenging optional instrumental interlude.  Also features an extended portion of “There Are Worse Things I Could Do.”

Difficulty: 5/5

Our most popular arrangement, made of very difficult sustained tone clusters and chromatic harmonies.  Ability to perform challenging rhythms and vocal dexterity is a must, as well as solid descant soloists.  Best in a group over 12 due to extensive splitting of the parts.  The work put into rehearsing and performing this chart is well-rewarded with a beautiful, subtle, powerful, and touching result.  Highly recommended.

Difficulty: 2/5

Many repeats in a tastefully scored block, letting a harmonic ostinato continue to build.  Great to showcase a soloist.

Difficulty: 4/5

Best for a small group; tight jazz harmonies, and a scat solo section.

Difficulty: 3/5

Laid-back, jazzy variation of the 90’s hit, in 6/8 time.  Best with only 5 singers, but adaptable for larger group with soloist.

Difficulty: 3/5

Truly fun to sing.  Interesting syllables for the basses, and much imitation between soloist and group.  Includes optional extended ending.  An exciting closer for any concert!

Difficulty: 5/5

Dramatic, powerful, skillfully arranged; a true tour de force of a cappella.

Difficulty: 3/5

Built from a vamp; very simple parts but with clever Black Water break-down section.  Easy to sing, but sounds strong, powerful, and driving — a crowd favorite.

Difficulty: 3/5

Based very closely off of Bobby Darin’s big band arrangement; there’s room in here for kazoos.  Interesting backups, and an exciting finale!  If you have a crooner, this is the chart for him.

Difficulty: 1/5

Bagpipe ostinato underneath a Scottish folk melody: can’t go wrong there!

Difficulty: 2/5

Slow and meditative, with some truly haunting partwriting that creates a disconcerting atmosphere that’s sure to spark the emotions of your audience.  Good for smaller groups.

Difficulty: 3/5

Won Best Arrangement at ICCAs 2005: this chart is not to be missed!  Very fun to sing, intuitive and easy to learn, it brings out the best in every singer.  Be careful on the subdivision of the 16th notes and your group will be golden.  Room for a scat solo or two and a flamenco hand-clap breakdown.  LOTS of energy!

Difficulty: 4/5

Dynamic and energetic.  This arrangement puts a faster spin on the original, making it perfect for opening or closing a performance.  Intricate syncopation makes it challenging in places, but rewarding when mastered.

Difficulty: 1/5

Very short; the Mentos theme song.  Always makes the crowd smile.

Difficulty: 2/5

Incredibly singable and fun; strictly four-part with textures woven in.  Good for a small group, but would be excellent with large groups of all abilities as well.

Difficulty: 4/5

The roadmap is the most challenging part — the voices are cleverly written and enjoyable.  Takes three to four soloists — lots of high falsetto!  Solos are scored.

Difficulty: 2/5

Transcribed from the original recording, intended for 5 voices only.  Also functional with a larger group and soloists.  Funny, charming, and cheesy as hell.

Difficulty: 5/5

Very strong arrangement!  Very challenging opening rhythmic section (with the possibility of simplification), four-voice hocket over a bassline.  Many different divisions of parts to round out the sound, with multiple individuals on their own parts.  Takes two soloists with similar voices.

Difficulty: 3/5

Good standard a cappella take on the hit; followed with an ending made famous by Rockapella.   Definitely a winner!

Difficulty: 4/5

Infectious bass-line and advanced harmonies make this arrangement a stand-out in any repertoire.

Difficulty: 3/5

Gorgeously arranged voices make this a very strong piece in the repertoire of a cappella groups and choirs alike.  Recommended!

Difficulty: 3/5

Doo-woppy style backgrounds provide a faithful and thoughtful take on Louis Armstrong’s classic.  Very singable and with modest jazz harmonization.

Difficulty: 3/5

Through-composed with very traditional voiceleading and ranges.  Excellent for groups of all sizes and ability levels – lots of fun, natural to sing, and a real crowd-pleaser.  Recommended two soloists.

Difficulty: 2/5

Not terribly difficult, but very very good-sounding take on a John Mayer favorite.  Won Best Arrangement award at a Wake Forest competition in 2003.

Difficulty: 1/5

Some chromatic changes in chords are the biggest challenge here; otherwise, the chart is easy to sing, fun, and plays with different syllables for variety.
