More about this title

About the Composer: Jule Styne

Jule Styne (1905-1975) composed music for some of Broadway's most enduring hits, including Gypsy, Funny Girl, and Bells Are Ringing. His gift for melody and theatrical momentum made him a defining voice in the American musical theater canon. For music educators, Styne's work remains a goldmine of singable, character-driven material that engages students and audiences alike.

Styne understood how to write for voices without sacrificing sophistication. His melodies sit naturally in the human voice, his harmonies support rather than complicate, and his rhythms drive the narrative forward. That clarity of purpose makes his arrangements ideal teaching repertoire.

Why we love this

Phil Kern's arrangement captures the original's infectious energy while keeping the part-writing manageable for mixed choirs. The bright, uncomplicated orchestration and driving 2-beat feel make this a genuine crowd-pleaser that works equally well as an opening number or as your concert finale. Singers love how the song's built-in momentum carries them through, and audiences recognize the Gypsy connection immediately.

What to expect

Pure theatrical confidence. The song radiates optimism and forward momentum, with bright major-key harmonies and a driving beat that keeps everything airborne. Singers feel the built-in charm and showmanship of the material; audiences hear the Broadway connection immediately and leave smiling.

Who it's for

Any mixed choir looking for an accessible, high-energy opener or closer that actually excites audiences. SAB voicing makes it perfect for community choirs, high school programs with mixed singers at all levels, and church choirs that want Broadway polish without symphonic complexity.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melody with genuine theatrical intent. This isn't concert music trying to feel Broadway; it IS Broadway material. Commit to the character and energy of Rose's optimism.
  • Keep the 2-beat feel crisp and forward-moving. Let the accompaniment drive the tempo; don't let chords sit or singers get bogged down in sustains.
  • Balance the parts carefully so the SAB voicing reads clearly without the altos and basses getting swallowed. The harmony is straightforward enough that good diction and placement matter more than doubling.
  • Work the rhythmic figures as a choir rather than as individuals. The piece thrives on ensemble precision in the syncopation and spoken rhythms.

How to use it

Open your spring or winter concert with this number to set a celebratory tone, or save it for the finale if you want your audience leaving on a high. It pairs naturally with other Golden Age musical theater selections, and its shorter length (12 pages) makes it flexible for programs that need a strong standalone moment without lengthy classical framing.

Skills your students will build

  • Broadway-style phrasing and theatrical interpretation
  • Ensemble precision in syncopated rhythms and rhythmic figures
  • Clear part-singing in SAB voicing with straightforward harmony
  • Maintaining forward motion and energy in 2-beat time
  • Diction and placement for bright, projection-focused singing
