By Bastille and James Bay. By James Bay. Arranged by D.A. Warman. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, Contemporary, Pop, Show Choir. 21 pages. David Andrew Warman #1345434. Published by David Andrew Warman (A0.1785367).This dynamic and emotionally rich vocal medley brings together two modern pop anthems that explore themes of memory, longing, and human connection: Hold Back the River and Pompeii. Arranged for SAB choir and piano, this medley is a compelling addition to any concert programme, belnding introspective lyricism with rhythmic energy and choral power.
The medley opens with the soulful strains of Hold Back the River, capturing the ache of distance and the desire to reconnect with loved ones. With soaring melodies and layered harmonies, it creates an immediate sense of intimacy and reflection. As the piece builds, it seamlessly transitions into Pompeii, with its pulsing rhythms and urgent, percussive vocal lines eching the inevitability of change and collapse.
Together these two songs form a narrative arc, from personal stillness to communal reckoning, making this medley not just a musical performance, but a story told through song. The piano accompaniment is simple but expressive, supporting the singers through every shift in mood and texture.
Whether performed in a school, college, or community setting, this medley is a standout choice for choirs looking to challenge their ensemble with something contemporary, meaningful, and deeply resonant. This piece is an invitation to reflect, connect, and sing with purpose.
