This a cappella (SSAA) arrangement of Feeling Good will be accessible by any community or school choir.
There is a short passage where Alto 1 divides into 2 parts. The melody is shared between all the parts, making it a great sing for all! The song begins in C minor and moves up into D minor, and again into E minor, leading to a rousing and dramatic ending.

There is a separate version available with the main melody extracted for a soloist, i.e. Solo SSAA (and lead sheet for optional accompaniment). The soloist would carry the tune all the way through, with choir playing an accompanying role.
