Suite: Judy Blue Eyes arr. Mark Brymer, TTBB with piano and optional rhythm
Crosby Stills & Nash wowed the pop music world when they released their 1969 album under their names. In this medley, mashing up several of their iconic songs, the harmonies are faithfully captured and the results are pure joy.
Better Together (Medley) arr. Mac Huff, 2-part with piano
“Better Together” showcases three songs centered around the theme of togetherness. Presented as a medley, the songs hail from different time periods, each with their own style and approach. The medley includes: “We’re All In This Together” (from “High School Musical”), “Happy Together,” and “We Go Together” (from “Grease”).
Encanto (Choral Highlights) arr. Roger Emerson, 3-part mixed with piano
This delightful medley features three favorite songs from Disney’s animated movie, “Encanto:” “The Family Madrigal,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” and “Surface Pressure.” Each song highlights the magic and charm found in this tale about an extraordinary Colombian family.
