Choir Delivers a Stunning A Cappella Cover of ‘Tomorrow’

A youthful choir delivers a stunning a cappella cover of “Tomorrow” from the famous musical and movie, “Annie.” Their voices are so fine-tuned, it sounds like there are instruments. But it’s just their wonderful voices. Play the video to enjoy the sweet sounds. 

This version will certainly be unlike any you’ve heard before. It starts with bird-like whistle notes and airy vocals that rise and fall with impressive balance. And in contrast, there are moments when the passionate, repetitive chorus almost sounds a little like pop, as surprising as that may sound. 

Hearing the singers' voices sweep, lift, and rise is astounding. You can tell all these youth are having a blast as they harmonize. It’s a simply beautiful moment. 

It’s a very creative arrangement of the classic song. The song is usually sung as a solo by tradition, so it’s very refreshing to hear a take on it like this. 

Some of the lyrics from the long-loved song are: 

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow

The legacy of “Annie” spans over 140 years. It all began with a poem, “Little Orphant Annie,” which James Whitcomb wrote in 1885. In 1924, it became a comic strip in the New York Daily News. 

A few years later, it was a radio series, and then a movie, with many adaptations over the years. The Broadway musical, “Annie,” debuted in 1977 and won seven Tony Awards.

“Tomorrow” is one of the most popular songs from the musical, and it’s easy to see why. It’s filled with contagious determination, positivity, and grit–and it sounds nice, too. Music director Ben Bram and his A Cappella Academy have done a wonderful job with their cover. 

If you’re a fan of musicals, then I hope you are delighted with this thoughtful performance.
