More about this title

About the Composer: Cole Porter

Cole Porter (1891-1964) was an American composer and lyricist who dominated Broadway and film musicals for four decades. His sophisticated harmonies, witty lyrics, and memorable melodies set the standard for American musical theater and influenced generations of songwriters. Porter wrote for elite audiences with refined taste, yet his songs became beloved standards performed across all musical contexts, from jazz ensembles to church choirs.

Why we love this

Teena Chinn's arrangement captures the infectious energy and theatrical charm of Porter's original without overwhelming singers at the moderately easy level. The song's built-in humor and showstopping potential make it an audience favorite that energizes any concert, while remaining genuinely fun to rehearse and perform. This is exactly the kind of opener that sets the right tone for a program.

What to expect

Bright, confident, and unapologetically theatrical. The arrangement crackles with the optimism and swagger of opening night on Broadway, inviting singers to embody the energy of performers ready to put on a show. There's joy in the music itself, and audiences respond to that infectious confidence.

Who it's for

This arrangement suits choirs of all backgrounds, from high school to community and church ensembles. The moderately easy level and singable voicing mean singers can focus on style and expression rather than technical struggle. It works equally well for groups with stage experience and those new to musical theater repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo buoyant and theatrical. The energy of this number depends on forward momentum, so resist the urge to linger on phrase endings.
  • Balance the vocal parts so the text remains clear throughout; Porter's wit lands only if audiences hear the lyrics.
  • Work the comedic timing in rehearsal. This arrangement invites playfulness, and singers who commit to the character of the piece will deliver the most engaging performance.

How to use it

Open a concert with this number to establish an upbeat, entertaining mood and signal that audiences are in for a fun evening. It pairs well with other American musical theater repertoire or works as a spirited contrast to more serious pieces. The 16-page score makes it accessible for learning, and recorded accompaniment support is available.
