More about this title
About the Artist: Josh Groban
Josh Groban rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a classical crossover artist, known for his rich baritone voice and ability to bridge pop and operatic traditions. His interpretations of both contemporary songs and classical standards have made him a fixture in film and television, where his vocal warmth and emotional depth bring cinematic moments to life.
Why we love this
Michael Brown's arrangement captures the intimate vulnerability of this song while giving every section of the band meaningful material to play. At Grade 2, it demands musical maturity and control without technical overwhelm, making it an ideal choice for bands ready to demonstrate expressive musicianship in a concert setting.
What to expect
A tender conversation with the audience. The arrangement unfolds with restraint and sincerity, never reaching for grandiosity. The prevailing mood is reflective and intimate, inviting listeners into a moment of quiet beauty rather than spectacle.
Who it's for
Young concert bands seeking a contemporary, emotionally accessible piece that doesn't require advanced technical facility. This arrangement works for ensembles that have solid fundamentals and want to build confidence performing a recognizable, movie-tied title that engages audiences.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the phrase arcs carefully from start to finish. Young bands often rush emotional moments; resist the temptation to push tempo when the dynamic swells arrive.
- Balance the melody against sustained harmonies. If your winds support the tune, the piece loses its quiet intimacy. Rehearse in sections to establish the role each part plays.
- Let silence breathe. The spaces between phrases matter as much as the notes themselves.
- Listen for blend in the harmonic foundation. Consult the arrangement's texture to determine whether horns, clarinets, or saxophones carry the supporting voices in each section.
How to use it
Place this in the second half of a concert where it can follow heavier fare and showcase your band's softer, more nuanced voice. Its connection to a beloved film makes it a natural bridge between formal classical programming and pieces that resonate with student musicians and families alike.
