Pure Joy for Casual Singers!
I absolutely love singing this Forever Motown medley! It includes so many of my favorite classic soul hits like 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' and 'Dancing In the Street.' Roger Emerson's arrangement makes it incredibly fun and satisfying to perform, truly capturing the spirit of the originals. It’s perfect for my community choir – challenging enough to feel rewarding, but still very achievable.

Supportive Arrangement for Strong Vocals
As a vocal coach, I find Roger Emerson's Forever Motown medley to be an outstanding choral arrangement. The SATB voicings are thoughtfully constructed to highlight the melodic lines and harmonies effectively. While specific piano texture details aren't provided, Emerson's pop choral series typically offers a supportive, idiomatic accompaniment that enhances the vocalists without being overly dominant. Highly recommended for robust choral programs.

Inspiring Motown Medley for Choirs
Roger Emerson's Forever Motown medley is an excellent choice for school and community choirs. The arrangement is well-balanced across the SATB parts, offering engaging challenges without being overly complex for students. The clear engraving, typical of Hal Leonard, ensures good readability, which is crucial for teaching rhythmic accuracy and ensemble blend. A fantastic piece to introduce students to classic soul!

Forever Motown for SATB
Our SATB Chorus did not like the arrangement of these songs. I think perhaps the sopranos were basing their dislike because they were comparing themselves to the original singers and felt off key.
