Believer (arr. Mark Brymer) - Sheet Music for 3-Part Mixed Choir Imagine Dragons

"Believer" by Imagine Dragons (2017) as choral sheet music for three mixed voices — this arrangement is aimed at choirs with approximately two or more years of singing experience. The predominantly homophonic choral texture means all voices move together rhythmically for the most part. This makes learning the piece more straightforward, while frequent large interval leaps (sixths and larger) demand genuine pitch accuracy.

Sheet Music "Believer (arr. Mark Brymer)" – Powerful Pop for 3-Part Mixed Choir

Imagine Dragons are known for a sound that combines arena-scale impact with personal urgency. "Believer" carries that quality from the very first bar: the song is about pain as a driving force — about fighting through resistance and growing stronger for it. Mark Brymer, well known for his accessible pop arrangements in the school choir repertoire, translates that spirit into three mixed voices. The texture remains approachable even for younger ensembles.

The choral arrangement is set in G major — a key that gives the voices plenty of room in the middle register. At the same time, it is chromatically enriched, meaning individual notes deviate from the pure major scale, adding color while demanding careful attention. As the piece progresses, the arrangement modulates to B minor: the shift to the relative minor brings a noticeably darker, more urgent quality, underscoring the defiant character of the text — a striking contrast, both vocally and sonically, to the brightness of G major. The soprano part spans a considerable range of nearly an octave and a half, requiring solid breath support in the upper register. The arrangement runs 100 bars at a steadily flowing tempo — despite the energetic character of the original, the pulse remains easy to follow.

• Main challenge: frequent large interval leaps (sixths and larger)

Rehearsing the soprano part without accompaniment first quickly reveals where the large leaps fall — allowing singers to work on target pitches in isolation before the ensemble sound comes in. For the leaps themselves, it helps to hear the target note internally before singing it: the sixths appear frequently and repeat throughout, so once the pattern is in the ear, they become reliably accurate. The detailed legato phrasing — many short slurs, each note flowing smoothly into the next — calls for controlled breath management, particularly in the upper range of the soprano part.
