Seeking Song Recommendations for Three Singers

Hey everyone,

I’m on the hunt for some fantastic songs that are perfect for three people to sing together. Whether it’s for karaoke night, a group performance, or just for fun, I would love your suggestions! Here are a few areas I’m particularly interested in:

Popular Genres

  • Pop: What are some catchy pop songs with great parts for three voices?
  • Classic Rock: Any timeless rock anthems that are suitable for a trio?
  • Musical Theater: Are there any memorable songs from musicals designed for three vocalists?

Duet Arrangements

While I’m focusing on three-part songs, I’d also love to hear about songs that have great duet arrangements. Maybe we can adapt them into a three-person format?

Fun and Engaging Choices

Ultimately, I’m looking for songs that will be engaging and fun for all participants. Could you share some crowd-pleasers or hidden gems that we can enjoy singing together?

Examples of What I’ve Considered

To get the ball rolling, here are a few songs I’ve been thinking about:

  • “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers - A classic that’s always uplifting!
  • “Shallow” from A Star is Born - Great for showcasing vocal talents!
  • “Say Something” by A Great Big World - Emotional and powerful.

If you could share your insights, that would be amazing! I can’t wait to hear what you all come up with and maybe discover some new favorites!

Thanks for helping out!

I suggest starting with vocal arrangements in different genres. Check out a cappella groups; they often have great three-part harmonies!

Absolutely! Groups like Pentatonix have amazing arrangements that could inspire your trio. They often make it easy to find parts, too.

You can find many resources on websites like MusicNotes or Sheet Music Plus, which have three-part harmonies sorted by genre. It’s super handy!

Great tip! I also love using YouTube to find tutorials for those specific arrangements.

Haha, totally! ‘A Whole New World’ has beautiful harmonies. Who doesn’t love a little Disney magic?

Take a look at classical music as well! Many choral pieces are arranged in three parts and can be stunning.

Just a thought: arranging a song yourself can be super rewarding. Ever tried rewriting a tune to fit your trio’s voices?

That could be a fun project! But I wonder how difficult it might be for beginners?

Honestly, it might not be as hard as you think! Start simple and you can always build complexity as you go. Practice makes perfect!

I love to harmonize on pop songs! You can break down the melody into three parts. Something like “Shallow” by Lady Gaga works well for this.
