More about this title

About the Artist: Jamie Cullum

Jamie Cullum is a British jazz pianist and vocalist whose career bridges contemporary jazz, pop, and musical theater. His sophisticated harmonic sensibility and accessible melodic gift have made him a distinctive voice in modern music, performing on stages from the Hollywood Bowl to the BBC Proms. In the classroom and rehearsal room, his arrangements and compositions offer singers the chance to work with genuinely contemporary material that respects both vocal technique and emotional authenticity.

Why we love this

Robert Ramaker's arrangement captures the wry charm and harmonic sophistication of Cullum's original without overwhelming your choir. The writing sits naturally for SATB voices while maintaining the song's contemporary flavor, making it an excellent vehicle for choirs seeking pop repertoire that demands real musicianship rather than gimmicks.

What to expect

Smooth and urbane, with the gentle swing of someone telling a story over a drink. The arrangement carries sophistication without pretense, balancing warmth in the harmonies with a knowing sense of humor in the text and melodic contour.

Who it's for

Choirs at the intermediate to advanced level who want to expand beyond traditional repertoire without sacrificing vocal integrity. This works equally well for secular choirs seeking contemporary material and for mixed ensembles looking to program something their singers will genuinely enjoy singing.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the inner voices carefully in passages where they carry the harmonic movement; soprano and alto lines can easily bury the tenor and bass foundation.
  • Treat the lyrics with conversational ease rather than theatrical drama. The song's wit lives in understatement, so encourage singers to find their natural phrasing within the rhythm.
  • Mark phrase endings subtly to preserve the song's relaxed character while maintaining structural clarity across the 114 pages.
  • Anchor intonation on the bass line, which anchors the harmonic vocabulary throughout. Lock that part first, then build the other voices.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary pop arrangements to build a full concert theme, or use it as a palate cleanser between classical and art song selections. Its approachable character makes it ideal for pops concerts, holiday shows, or any program where you want to signal that your choir sings living music, not just museum pieces.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing inner voice independence while maintaining harmonic cohesion
  • Singing contemporary pop material with stylistic authenticity and vocal integrity
  • Navigating sophisticated harmonic language at the SATB level
  • Phrasing and text delivery that serves understatement and conversational tone
