About this collection
Territory code: B22
Popular melodies from film, Broadway, radio, and television come alive in this collection of secular choral arrangements. From jazz standards to holiday favorites to contemporary pop hits, you'll find versatile voicings and accessible grade levels for mixed choir, jazz ensemble, and concert band. Harold Arlen's "Over the Rainbow" and Hugh Martin's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" anchor a collection that spans the Great American Songbook, classic pop, and modern arrangements.

Things to consider
Start by matching the grade level of your ensemble to the arrangement. Most titles appear in multiple voicings, so you can often find both SATB and SAB versions of the same song. If you're building a show or concert program, pair these familiar melodies to balance difficulty: use Grade 1 or 2 pieces as warm-ups or audience favorites, then feature a Grade 3 or 4 arrangement as your centerpiece.
