More about this title

About the Artist: Billy Joel

Billy Joel emerged as one of the defining songwriters of the 1970s and beyond, crafting piano-driven pop compositions that balance accessibility with genuine emotional depth. His gift for melodic construction and his ability to write songs that work equally well in concert halls and living rooms have made his catalog a natural fit for choral arrangements.

Why we love this

Audrey Snyder's arrangement captures the intimate vulnerability of this Joel classic while giving it room to breathe in a choral setting. The voicing options (TB/TTB/TBB/TTBB) make this genuinely flexible for different ensemble sizes, and the harmonic sophistication rewards singers who commit to phrase shaping and blend.

What to expect

Contemplative and tender, with the kind of honesty that stops a room. The arrangement honors the song's original introspection while allowing the choral sound to deepen its emotional landscape.

Who it's for

Choirs of mixed voices looking for contemporary repertoire that sits comfortably within a reasonable range while maintaining artistic substance. Ensembles preparing secular concert programming or looking to bridge classical and pop idioms will find this arrangement particularly valuable.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the lyrics as conversation rather than announcement; the restraint in delivery is what makes this song resonate.
  • Shape the harmonic movement by listening for how each voice part supports the overall contour, especially through any key moments or modulations.
  • Balance the accompaniment level so the voices remain central; this arrangement lives in subtlety, not volume.
  • Work the breathing points carefully with your singers so phrases feel naturally connected rather than fragmented.

How to use it

Program this as a standalone secular selection or pair it with other reflective contemporary repertoire to create a thematic concert moment. Its moderate length and accessibility also make it suitable for special events, ceremonies, or spring concert programming where variety in style strengthens the overall impact.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustained vowel production across longer phrase lines
  • Blend and balance within mixed voicing formats
  • Interpretive choices in contemporary pop arranging
  • Awareness of harmonic function and how individual lines support the whole
