More about this title

About the Artist: Michael Buble

Michael Bublé is a Canadian crooner who revitalized the classic jazz vocal tradition for contemporary audiences. His warm baritone and interpretive sensitivity have made standards accessible to listeners who might never otherwise encounter this repertoire, positioning him as a bridge between traditional jazz singing and modern pop sensibilities.

For choral directors, Bublé's catalog offers an exceptional resource. His arrangements of standards and original compositions sit naturally in the voice, reward expressive singing, and resonate with students who recognize his recordings. His success demonstrates that swing phrasing, jazz harmonies, and genuine emotional delivery remain powerful tools in any musician's toolkit.

Why we love this

Roger Emerson has crafted an SSA voicing that preserves the sophistication of this tune while remaining genuinely singable for developing choirs. The arrangement balances rhythmic precision with the interpretive freedom that makes jazz vocal music rewarding. Audiences respond immediately to this melody, and your singers will feel the legitimacy of performing something that matters beyond the concert hall.

What to expect

Warm, intimate, and effortlessly sophisticated. This arrangement captures the vocal intimacy Bublé brings to the original while giving ensemble singers room to phrase expressively and support the emotional arc. The harmonies feel fresh without sounding overly complex.

Who it's for

Intermediate and advanced SSA choirs ready to tackle jazz voicings and swing feel. This works equally well for concert choirs seeking contemporary repertoire and for groups specializing in pop or light entertainment.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the phrases like a soloist would, not as a block chord. One singer carries the melody while others support; rotate this responsibility between voices to build ownership and prevent the arrangement from sounding static.
  • Establish the swing feel early in rehearsal by singing passages rhythmically loose rather than metronomic. The written rhythms should breathe.
  • Balance the bottom two voices so the arrangement's harmonic movement is audible. Too much soprano volume, and the rich underpinning disappears.

How to use it

Place this alongside other jazz standards or pop covers to anchor a contemporary set. It also serves as an excellent piece for spring or pops concerts where a touch of elegance complements lighter fare. The 11-page length allows flexibility in programming.

Skills your students will build

  • Jazz phrasing and swing articulation
  • Balancing melody against harmonic accompaniment in SSA voicing
  • Interpreting dynamics and rubato within a jazz context
  • Blending in close harmony while maintaining individual voice independence
