Pop choral arrangements just don't get any better than this! Simon & Garfunkel's hit song from 1969 has been an inspirational standard for decades, and this arrangement really maximizes its potential in reaching today's younger generation. Opening with an almost tribal, world-beat percussive groove, it builds with sweeping harmonic ideas and dramatic impact that will leave an indelible impression on every singer and listener. Very highly recommended!

"Everybody needs to rise up, and everybody needs to be loved...but the only question with me now is, do I make you proud..." This slow ballad, as recorded by Taylor Hicks, is the pop sound of today for your choir. Your students will identify with the lyrics, too. "Because of you, I am standing tall..."

Now younger choirs can experience the uplifting feeling of this pop ballad that was a huge hit in 1996, as recorded by R. Kelly. It offers a positive message about believing in yourself and reaching for your dreams. "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. I think about it every night and day, spread my wings and fly away..."

"Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway, movin' ahead so life won't pass me by..." The sentiment of this Jim Croce hit from 1973 is always timely, especially at graduation. Everyone will recognize it, as it has been used in several movies, including "The Last American Hero" and "Invincible." Simple choral writing with a simple accompaniment, this is a strong choice for choirs at all levels. Highly recommended!

"There are times I've been afraid... then I feel your hand in mine and there's courage in my heart..." Exquisite lyrics and flowing vocal lines combine in this Stephen Schwartz ballad taken from one of his most frequently performed musicals, "Children of Eden." Highly recommended!

This hit song by the country pop group "Rascal Flatts" offers an exceptionally positive and inspirational message that is ideal for graduation and many other programs. "My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small."

The last song recorded by Diana Ross and "The Supremes" before the group disbanded, this was at the top of the charts in 1969. There's no better way to pay tribute to the phenomenal group than by featuring your women's choir on this authentic-sounding arrangement! Highly recommended!
