Product Description
Bring joy and energy to your next performance with this 4-part (SATB) choir arrangement of ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky," as featured in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. This 3-minute and 15-second arrangement captures the optimistic and lively spirit of the original, making it a show-stopper for school and community choirs. This arrangement does not include the rock choral coda at the end of the original song.
Vocal ranges:
- Soprano/Part 1 - C4 (middle C) up to F5
- Alto/Part 2 - Bb3 (just below middle C) up to Bb4
- Tenor (Part 3) - D3 (below middle C) up to F4 (above middle C)
- Bass (Part 4) - A2 (with a few optional G2, F2) up to D2
The piano arrangement is arranged for a teacher or accomplished student. The piano does not follow the vocal line (except towards the end during the first time through the faux-baroque contrapuntal section), instead providing backing that mirrors the original instrumentation of the recording.
The arrangement is fun and accessible and carefully crafted for 4-part soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices, co-ed school choir, and developing singers, and limited rehearsal time in mind. Whether you're working with accomplished middle school, high school, or community choirs, this piece is universally uplifting and sure to engage both singers and audiences. The rhythmic drive and iconic melodies of "Mr. Blue Sky" will leave audiences humming long after the performance ends.
Ideal as an opener, closer, or feel-good centerpiece for concerts and events.
Originally by Electric Light Orchestra, "Mr. Blue Sky" is a classic anthem of positivity. Its resurgence in pop culture, especially after its appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Groot's adorable dance routine, has made it a favorite across generations. This arrangement stays true to the song's upbeat spirit while simplifying it for a choir-friendly experience.
