Choral scores "Sing (Choral Highlights)" – five hits for two-part choir

Roger Emerson is one of the most widely performed arrangers in American school choral music. His arrangements rarely stop at simplification — they transform pop hits into genuine choral pieces. This medley brings together five well-known songs:

"I'm Still Standing"
"Set It All Free"
"Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"
"Faith".

Seven minutes and 45 seconds of music that choirs and audiences alike already know — and love.

The arrangement moves through several keys in a calm, steady flow. The notated tempo is brisk, yet the legato character makes it feel considerably more relaxed — the music almost carries itself. The piano accompaniment maintains the pulse without rushing. The two-part choral writing is predominantly homophonic — both voices move together, which strengthens the ensemble sound from the outset and makes the transition into ensemble singing that much easier.

The piece's understated energy calls for a smooth, even tone production — legato and controlled breath support are front and center. Singing the upper voice through once without piano accompaniment quickly reveals where the breath needs to carry the phrase and where it can release. With "Hallelujah" in particular, it's worth thinking of the melodic line as one long arc — not note by note, but as a single, continuous motion. That's what gives the moment its impact.
