Choral Arrangements
August 2014
Since leading my first community choir in 2006, I have arranged over 200 songs. I believe there is a shortage of contemporary repertoire which is ‘suitable’ for use in a community choir setting, where singers have a wide variety of previous singing experiences. This belief has in part influenced my PhD study. My arrangements span contemporary pop, jazz, rock and folk to musical theatre, classical and drum n’ bass songs. I am currently seeking a publisher.
Licensed arrangements are available as full score, reduced score and lyric sheet only and all have voice dominant rehearsal parts S.A.T.B with optional backing tracks or piano, guitar, bass and drum kit parts. My arrangements are tried and tested with several community choirs, are memory retainable and lend well to being taught by ear.
Please contact me for more information.

Hello Emily,
I am Chair of the Board of Directors of The London Singers, a community choir of 70 members who sing with a high school choir of 80-100 students. We are looking for choral arrangements of 80s music.
It looks like ‘we’ve found what we’ve been looking for’ with your arrangements. Did you publish them?
Hi Darien,
I’m in the process of publishing my arrangements. I’ll be in touch as soon as I have an update.
Best,
Emily
