More about this title

About the Composer: Phillip Phillips

Phillip Phillips burst onto the music scene with his 2012 hit single "Home," which showcased his ability to craft emotionally resonant pop songs with folk and rock influences. His songwriting emphasizes accessible melodies paired with lyrics that resonate with contemporary audiences, making his work particularly appealing for choral arrangements that bridge popular and concert music.

Phillips' catalog demonstrates a gift for writing material that translates effectively across genres and voicings. His songs often feature strong harmonic progressions and memorable hooks that give arrangers substantial material to work with, resulting in choral versions that maintain the emotional core of the original while gaining the richness of ensemble singing.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the contemporary pop sensibility of the original while building in vocal independence that keeps all four parts engaged throughout. The piece offers your singers a chance to perform current, radio-friendly material that they actually want to sing, which translates directly to stronger rehearsal energy and more convincing performances.

What to expect

The piece carries the warmth and immediacy of the original recording while gaining harmonic depth through four-part writing. Listeners hear both the familiarity of a song they know and the craftsmanship of vocal arranging, creating a satisfying blend of accessibility and artistry.

Who it's for

High school and college choirs seeking current pop repertoire that doesn't sacrifice musical substance. This arrangement works equally well for show choirs looking to expand beyond traditional pop charts and for concert choirs wanting to connect with audiences through familiar material.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the texture carefully during verses so that the soloists can anchor the narrative while the supporting voices remain conversational rather than overwhelming.
  • Work the rhythmic syncopations in the pop figures separately from pitch, establishing confidence in the stylistic feel before adding harmonic complexity.
  • Shape dynamic arcs phrase by phrase rather than thinking of the song as static; contemporary pop arrangements thrive on subtle push and pull.

How to use it

Consider pairing this with other contemporary pop arrangements to create a full set that demonstrates your ensemble's range, or use it as an opener to engage audiences immediately with recognizable material before moving into more formal concert fare. The song's emotional directness makes it particularly effective as a spring concert closer or as part of a mixed pops program.

Skills your students will build

  • Performing syncopated rhythms in pop style contexts
  • Balancing solo and ensemble textures within a single arrangement
  • Sustaining emotional delivery across accessible, repetitive harmonic structures
  • Applying stylistic interpretation to contemporary vocal music
