SKU: A0.1856539
By Walk the Moon. By Ben Berger; Eli Maiman; Kevin Ray; Nicholas Petricca; Ryan McMahon; Sean Waugaman. Arranged by Sarah Jaysmith. This edition: pdf. Pop, Rock, Show Choir. 12 pages. Sarah Jaysmith #1416104. Published by Sarah Jaysmith (A0.1856539).
This high-energy SATB arrangement of Walk the Moon’s "Shut Up And Dance" captures the infectious, 80s-revival spirit of the original while prioritizing vocal comfort. It opens optional solos that establishe the groove, making it an ideal choice for a concert opener or a high-impact finale. The score is built with a clear dynamic architecture; intentional valleys in the verses provide moments of character and storytelling, ensuring the choir has the stamina to deliver the explosive choruses.
The arrangement is designed to sound lush and professional for intermediate ensembles and youth choirs alike. For sections with strong high voices, an optional soprano descant adds a brilliant layer to the climax without taxing the rest of the ensemble. Rather than a standard rehearsal reduction, the piano accompaniment is a driving, rhythmic engine that honors the signature synth-pop hooks of the original while remaining idiomatic and rewarding for the pianist. From the percussive "dance, dance" breakdown to the final accented finish, this is a practical, high-impact addition to any program! There is also an SAB version of this arrangement.
