More about this title

About the Composer: Cole Porter

Cole Porter (1891-1964) composed some of Broadway's most enduring songs, marked by witty lyrics, sophisticated harmonies, and melodies that lodge instantly in memory. His career spanned decades of musical theater, and his works remain central to the American songbook and a staple of choral and vocal programs. Educators value Porter's music for its harmonic richness, accessibility to singers of varied abilities, and the sheer joy performers and audiences experience in his material.

Why we love this

Teena Chinn's arrangement captures the infectious energy of this Porter classic while keeping the 3-part voicing manageable for mixed choirs at the high school and community level. The built-in potential for movement and staging transforms a concert selection into a performance moment that audiences genuinely anticipate. You get Broadway flair without the complexity of a full production number.

What to expect

Bright, optimistic, and propulsive. This arrangement carries the spirit of a 1930s Broadway showstopper into a contemporary choral context, with music that practically demands energy and theatrical flair from singers. There's lift and sparkle in every phrase, and the harmonic language feels both familiar and sophisticated.

Who it's for

High school and community choirs seeking an uplifting, audience-pleasing selection with Broadway credentials. The 3-part mixed voicing accommodates choirs with developing singers or uneven voice distributions while maintaining musical substance. Directors looking for a concert piece that justifies staging or choreography will find a natural vehicle here.

How to get the most out of it

Treat the rhythmic drive as foundational; lock the pulse early in rehearsal so singers can focus on blend and tuning rather than finding the beat.
Layer in choreography or simple staging during the final rehearsals when voices are secure; even minimal movement amplifies the piece's charm and keeps energy high.
Balance the three parts carefully so that no single line dominates; this arrangement rewards blend work and rewards listeners with clear harmonic color.

How to use it

Program this as a spring concert highlight or as a closing number when you want to send the audience out smiling. It pairs well alongside other American songbook standards or as the contemporary counterpoint to a more traditional repertoire set. The built-in staging potential also makes it ideal for pops concerts or gala events where a little theatrical magic is welcome.
