Chorus Choir (SSAATTBB) - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1836036
By Chris Rain. Composed by Regine Chassagne; Richard Parry; Tim Kingsbury; WIlliam Butler; Win Butler. Arranged by Riccardo Barba. This edition: pdf. Pop, Rock. 50 pages. Riccardo Barba #1395584. Published by Riccardo Barba (A0.1836036).This arrangement of “Wake Up” (from Arcade Fire’s album Funeral, 2004) is written for SATB choir and rock band, including piano, electric guitar, electric bass, drums, and optional violin (or second guitar).
Rather than being a strict note-for-note transcription of the original recording, this version is conceived as a performable, well-balanced arrangement designed for a smooth and effective live execution. The choral writing enhances the anthem-like character of the song, expanding its harmonic depth and dynamic impact while keeping the groove and drive of the original.
The vocal parts are crafted to be idiomatic and practical for choir performance, with clear phrasing, dynamic shaping, and strong sectional interplay. The band writing supports the choir with a solid rhythmic foundation and carefully adapted instrumental textures that preserve the energy of the original track without unnecessary complexity.
This arrangement is ideal for contemporary choirs, concert programs, pop/rock crossover events, and collaborations between choirs and bands looking for a powerful and emotionally charged closing piece.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
