5 Epic A Cappella Arrangements of Your Favorite Disney Songs

For generations, the Disney brand has been synonymous with great storytelling, family entertainment, and memorable music -- a lot like barbershop, don’t you think?

Recent live-action releases of Disney animated classics (Jungle Book, Dumbo, Aladdin, The Lion King) bring all that great music back to mind: songs that are fun to sing, and familiar to wide audiences. Here are some of our favorites, all available at BHS Marketplace!

1. Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast)

Arranged by Steve Delahanty | Difficulty Level: 3

Clever wordplay, vivid imagery, and abundant opportunity for visual excitement make this Beauty and the Beast favorite a hit for choruses or quartets.
