By Imagine Dragons feat. Kygo. By Ben McKee, Dan Reynolds, Daniel Platzman, Kyrre Gorvell-Dahll, and Wayne Sermon. Arranged by Julian Hay. 21st Century,A Cappella,Contemporary,Pop,Rock. Octavo. 8 pages. Julian Hay #870899. Published by Julian Hay (A0.1279417).

This arrangement was commissioned for, and premiered by, Voices Co. Pop A Cappella Academy, for one of our Junior Ensembles. It is fun and catchy and features a Vocal Percussion part (Beatboxing).

VOCAL LAYOUT:

The melody, or lead line, is divided amongst the vocal parts to give variety. The B.G (background) parts replicate the instrumental accompaniment of the original track, filling out the arrangement and creating the contemporary texture that is at the heart of Pop A Cappella. The Vocal Percussion (Beatboxing) should be a feature, and they provide the arrangement with much of the groove and vibe it needs.

The dynamics give an indication which vocal parts should be strongest at any given moment, but changes may need to be made depending on the number / balance of singers, and the strengths of each vocal section. As a general rule, the melody or lead should be strongest, followed by any harmony parts (those with lyrics), followed by any background parts (Mmm's / Dmm's, etc).

RHYTHM & BASS:

This Beatboxing part is suitable for medium level vocal percussionists, and is made up of groupings of patterns. Specific Beatboxing notes are included in their own section.

If your ensemble is without a lower voice or a beatboxer you could consider the following options.

- Use electric bass guitar playing the bass part

- Use a drum kit or drum box (Cajon)

- Use a piano to provide some simple background accompaniment

If using clicks or claps, do so on the off beats (2 and 4).

PERSONAL ASSISTANCE:

If you need any assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly, we'd be happy to reply to any questions via email, or you can also book in a 1:1 consultation between your M.D and Julian Hay, or a Zoom workshop with your ensemble for specific feedback:
