J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
This Latin pop opener sizzles with excitement from start to finish! Written as the kick-off song for an annual fundraising event, the lyrics include some Spanish phrases in tribute to the strong Latino presence in the community. The arrangement features heavy Latin percussion, two instrumental features including a sax solo and a lead trumpet solo, as well as an alto soloist closing out the song as the lead over a polyphonic final chorus. This piece would work perfectly as a mass choir number opening a pops concert, as a one-off performance for a community event, or to close out a comp set with a huge celebration.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

When the pressure gets too high We all need a little release When the problems keep a-comin’ from nine to five You never get a moment of peace Don’t hold it in You got to let your feelings out Let me hear you shout Louder and louder, Con fuerza, with power, Things are gonna feel better When we all come together Make some noise Oye, oye I wanna hear your voice I wanna hear you sound off Turn the stage lights on We’ll get this party goin’ strong I wanna hear you sound off Quiero oir tu voz I wanna hear you sound off Make some noise! Break the silence! Let the music play! Raise your hands to the sky Dance the night away! Break the silence! Let the music play, oye, oye! When your worries got you down When your world’s spinning outta control In the middle of the crowd Turn your volume up loud Let me hear that sound! Make some noise Oye, oye I wanna hear your voice I wanna hear you sound off Turn the stage lights on We’ll get this party goin’ strong (Anita Cracauer)
