More about this title

About the Arranger: Mark Brymer

Mark Brymer has spent decades crafting choral arrangements that honor the integrity of contemporary songs while making them genuinely singable for school and community choirs. His work across Broadway, pop, and jazz idioms demonstrates a deep understanding of both vocal writing and what brings ensemble singers to life in performance.

Brymer's arrangements are known for their musicality and accessibility. He finds the emotional core of a song and builds ensemble textures that allow singers at various levels to contribute meaningfully, making contemporary material feel natural in the choral rehearsal space.

Why we love this

Brymer captures the vulnerability and emotional complexity of this Dear Evan Hansen moment while keeping the vocal lines within the reach of developing singers. The arrangement respects the song's intimacy without sacrificing the theatrical impact that makes SSA groups excited to learn contemporary Broadway.

What to expect

Two mothers searching for certainty in the midst of confusion, their voices eventually finding each other across layered harmonies. The arrangement creates an intimate conversation that somehow feels both private and universal, grounded in Brymer's warm harmonic language and the inherent vulnerability of the lyric.

Who it's for

SSA and SSAA choirs ready to tackle contemporary Broadway material with musical depth. This works for high school concert choirs, community ensembles, and select middle school groups with strong upper voices and rehearsal time for emotional nuance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the lyrical passages with genuine legit singing technique rather than a pop/belt approach. The song's emotional weight depends on sustained, supported tones that resonate through the acoustic setting of most concert halls.
  • Balance the three parts carefully in sections where Heidi's and Cynthia's lines move independently from each other. This isn't a unison number, and clarity of individual melodic lines will sharpen the arrangement's architecture.
  • Honor the rhythmic specificity Brymer has written into the accompaniment. Small syncopations and tied figures create the song's characteristic contemporary feel; rushing or loosening the rhythm flattens that quality.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections to create a Broadway showcase, or program it as a moving centerpiece in a concert exploring themes of connection and miscommunication. The 10-page score means it sits comfortably as a feature piece without dominating rehearsal time.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining long phrases with consistent breath management and vocal support
  • Connecting lyrical content to vocal quality and emotional communication
