*Hamilton (Medley)* 0:03 Alexander Hamilton 1:28 My Shot 2:58 The Schyuler Sisters 4:28 The Room Where It Happens 5:51 Helpless 7:15 Yorktown *The End*
Fun story My school is doing it because me and my friend are obsessed over it and our choir teacher asked us two out of all people if we should do it or not So I auditioned for Eliza’s part in helpless because my friend would give me money if I did Cuz like I’m not a soprano and I can’t sing that and stuff But I auditioned for some rap parts and I did pretty good at those But solos came out today And I got Eliza in helpless And now I’m freaking Dead
My chorus teacher was showing the Moana choral highlights, and this came up, I yelled "CAN WE DO HAMILTON" Literally no one was surprised, we didn't though 🙁
Personally I wasn’t the biggest Hamilton fan when I first saw it live, after hearing this for the past three weeks on repeat, it’s starting to grow on me. The reason why I even chose to listen to this was because of school. Every year our choir classes have their last concert accompanied by our jazz band, I happened to be their drummer, so when I received the score for this, I noticed that there were no actual parts for the background instruments. Our chamber singers don’t like using tracks, so me and our bassist had to write out our own parts for this piece, and since I’m a perfectionist (kinda important for a musician) I toiled for three weeks trying to transcribe the drum part by ear. And afterwards, I now enjoy the musical, especially after the fact that live Hamilton typically has up to three drummers at once, so now I come back to this track to play with whenever I’m bored. Definitely a fun listen.
We might do this at college. Alexander will be a Argentinian. Thomas Jefferson a Chilean. George Washington a Japanese. Angelica a Chinese girl. My class is very multicultural oh Philip will be a Brazilian
Hi Daya, Your choir can do this! What's your hesitation? Let me know. I've crafted the arrangement so that you can do some alterations. Let me know what's stoping you and let's see if I can help you get around the obstacles! Thanks! (Lisa DeSpain - the arranger)
We are doing some Hamilton songs for my chorus we are also doing some dance in the songs which is even more fun, when I told my mom about this she said "who's Hamilton?" Than I looked at her like 'did you not go to school or something?'
I had "come on let's go rise up when your livin on your knees you rise up tell your brother that he's rise up tell your sister that she's gotta rise up" and "time to take a shot.... time to take a shot"
Cole Daugherty ayeee cool. My friend, Sam, sings the "alexander hamilton, my name is alexander..." and "I imagine death..." Also the male part in helpless.
Can someone please put the time stamp for Yorktown? I have to practice my solo for the performance and I don’t want to have to go through the whole song to get to my solo. Please and Thank You
I wrote out the part for electric bass because there is none. Feel free to use it: flat.io/score/5cdb8004c3c9b44b7d4aaa59-hamilton-a-choral-medley-electric-bass-part
Im kinda scared that I was picked to sing the room where it happens at the last part, so I need to hit that note right and perfect! Hope I don't voice crack 😂
Do you sing it with the language at the beginning? OR do you change the words? I don't think parents would be too happy saying Whore and Bastard. Thoughts? Just change the words?
As those lyrics are indicative of Alexander Hamilton’s life, getting rid of them doesn’t benefit the song. Bastard isn’t used as a slur, but in reference to being born fatherless.
The lyrics now read "how does a ragtan, orphan, son of the poor" in the arrangement of this medley that I have. Not as good obviously but at least makes it more 'appropriate' for school performance.
Whoa from Skyler Sisters to Room Where it Happens, that's a bit of a damn leap
My choir is doing this and i cant wait!
We're doing This Is Me-
JeremyIsHeere UwU were doing both
Lucky

Fun story
My school is doing it because me and my friend are obsessed over it and our choir teacher asked us two out of all people if we should do it or not
So I auditioned for Eliza’s part in helpless because my friend would give me money if I did
Cuz like I’m not a soprano and I can’t sing that and stuff
But I auditioned for some rap parts and I did pretty good at those
But solos came out today
And I got Eliza in helpless
And now I’m freaking
Dead
08Yasmin03 nice :)) I’m soprano one and I still don’t understand how people jump around on those high notes lol
JAZZY CAT yeah honestly for me it was just voice cracks and slides galore haha
Same
I got Alexander’s “monologue” in Yorktown!
I wish I was in your school :')
I found it today that my middle school choir is doing this and I’m so happy. She played it for us and me and my friend were screaming the lyrics
French Toast Lucky! Our high school is doing Hamilton and Middle School is stuck with Hairspray and Moana.
No we replaced the lyrics unfortunately
I just found my choir is preforming this in the spring and I'm so excited!!!!
We did it for fall. Performing tomorrow😊😊
Yeah!!!!! Please post videos!!!!
L U C K Y
Awkward when I just listen to choral arrangements for fun...
I WANT TO LIKE THIS BUT I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE PERFECT 51
it’s okay because i do it too
Jess Garcia I thought I was the only one
i’m listening to it in the shower you’re fine
Same. Listening for fun and wishing I had the vocals to do a solo in this, despite not being in a choir anymore.
My choir just learned the room where it happens and oml we gave our own self's chills
SAME
Soloist results came out yesterday and I got Alexander’s “monologue” in Yorktown!!! I’M SO EXCITED YET NERVOUS!!!!!!!!
My chorus teacher was showing the Moana choral highlights, and this came up,
I yelled "CAN WE DO HAMILTON"
Literally no one was surprised, we didn't though 🙁
Why didn't they do it!? Let me know if I can "encourage" your teacher. :)
We are doing this in my class. My guess is the difficulty in the music. The Moana highlights is a much easier arrangement
Thanks for your thoughts! I'm creating a video to explain ways to simplify the arrangement - make it easier so everyone can perform this!
we are doing this and moana and a couple of other songs
My choir is doing it

Hi Daya, Your choir can do this! What's your hesitation? Let me know. I've crafted the arrangement so that you can do some alterations. Let me know what's stoping you and let's see if I can help you get around the obstacles!

Im kinda scared that I was picked to sing the room where it happens at the last part, so I need to hit that note right and perfect!
Hope I don't voice crack 😂
Not a terrible arrangement but I would've ended with who lives, who dies who tells your story.
Is there a backing track version at all? 😊
EOE DPS PLZ DO THIS
So We are doing this for Harnett Off broadway
oh s h i t
my school's doing it for that. . . .
fuck please don't be in 8th grade
kaily S. what school do you even go to if you can answer
kaily S. Hello?
Do you sing it with the language at the beginning? OR do you change the words? I don't think parents would be too happy saying Whore and Bastard. Thoughts? Just change the words?
As those lyrics are indicative of Alexander Hamilton’s life, getting rid of them doesn’t benefit the song. Bastard isn’t used as a slur, but in reference to being born fatherless.
We changed it to "how does a master, orphan, son of a boar" and i hate it.
The lyrics now read "how does a ragtan, orphan, son of the poor" in the arrangement of this medley that I have. Not as good obviously but at least makes it more 'appropriate' for school performance.
I changed it to Fatherless and Wench 🤷 but honestly it's up to you
im doing this in my theatre course and im playing laurens-
3:00
My choir is doing this and let me say with these solos he gave out it's gonna be a mess
