Product Description
This instrumental pack & conductor's score accompany the Piano-Vocal Score, published separately.
Written by American girl band the Go-Go's keyboardist Charlotte Coffey, WE GOT THE BEAT is a "new wave" classic 1980s hit and the band's signature song. It was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. For audiences and choirs of all ages, this arrangement* is fun, up-tempo and high-energy, including scored hand claps in the a cappella section. Originally performed by the Seattle Women's Chorus, Kathleen McGuire's arrangement includes unison singing and easy harmonies combined with plenty of variety and each vocal part sharing the melody in the verses. Add some choralography (or a few Go-Go dancers!) to really take your performance to the next level, especially in the instrumental sections!
Including a drum set is essential, and to really capture the '80s feel, add this whole Instrumental Pack: Alto Sax, Violin, Synthesizer (additional to the Piano part available in the vocal score), Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drum Set, plus Conductor's Score showing all the choral and instrumental parts. The parts are not difficult, playable by competent school students.
*SSA piano-vocal score available separately.
