More about this title

About the Artist: Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz has shaped the sound of contemporary musical theater for five decades, crafting scores that balance emotional depth with theatrical impact. His work across stage and screen demonstrates a composer who understands how to write for voices, building melodies that stick without sacrificing sophistication or genuine feeling.

Why we love this

Deke Sharon's arrangement preserves the intimate power of this duet while making it accessible for full choir, allowing ensemble singers to claim a song they know and love. The a cappella setting forces singers to trust their ears and each other, creating genuine musical connection rather than relying on accompaniment.

What to expect

Warm and introspective, with the quality of friends sharing something honest rather than performing for a crowd. The absence of accompaniment creates intimacy; every voice matters equally, and the harmonies feel like they're being discovered in the moment.

Who it's for

Choirs comfortable with a cappella singing and ready to tackle a piece with real emotional stakes. This works for high school and college ensembles, as well as adult recreational choirs looking to connect with contemporary material that their audiences recognize.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody across all four parts so the tune remains clear even when distributed. This keeps the arrangement from sounding scattered.
  • Find the emotional temperature early in rehearsal. This isn't a song to sing lightly, so establish the sincerity you want before drilling voice independence.
  • Lock the inner voices (alto and tenor) first. Once they're solid and blending, sopranos and basses can layer in their lines without the arrangement fragmenting.
  • Pay attention to the text. These lyrics carry the weight of the piece, so articulation and phrasing choices should serve the meaning, not just the notes.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections for a program that appeals to singers and audiences alike, or use it as a palate cleanser between longer classical works. It also serves well in fundraising concerts, pops nights, or any program celebrating music that transcends traditional boundaries.

Skills your students will build

  • A cappella blend and intonation without instrumental reference
  • Balancing individual voice lines within a homophonic texture
  • Sustaining emotional expression across extended phrases
  • Clarity of diction in contemporary text
