ALFRED MUSICAvailable for SATB, SAB, and SSA.
Dan + Shay and Justin Beiber delivered a moving performance of this record-breaking song at the CMA Awards in 2020. Satisfying in all voicings, my choral adaptation keeps that soft country pop groove and gives all the voices something interesting to sing. The piano part can stand on its own, or you can add guitars with the chords provided. Many thanks to Tim Hayden and the singers at Ned's Place in Nashville for their fabulous recording!

This bright arrangement is perfect for younger developing choirs, with its accessible ranges and easy-to-sing harmonies. Try adding the American Sign Language for a truly special presentation.

The Mermaid
ALFRED MUSICAvailable for 3-Part Mixed, 2-Part, and TB
Here in Connecticut, where Mystic Seaport is our big claim to fame, the country's oldest sea music festival is held every summer. Here is a flexible and updated arrangement of my favorite sea ballad. With plenty of room for "theatrics," this story is fun for all ages!
