More about this title

About the Artist: Jacob Collier

Jacob Collier is a British musician, composer, and producer whose work bridges contemporary jazz, pop, and classical idioms with virtuosic facility. His arrangements and compositions are marked by sophisticated harmonic language, unexpected melodic turns, and meticulous attention to voice leading, making his music a rich source for musicians seeking to expand their harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary.

Why we love this

Collier's 'Hideaway' brings advanced harmonic thinking and contemporary sensibility to the piano/vocal format without sacrificing singability. The piece rewards singers and pianists who can navigate sophisticated chord substitutions and subtle rhythmic flexibility, making it ideal for advanced soloists or as a statement piece in a mixed concert.

What to expect

The piece unfolds with a contemplative, introspective quality, drawing the listener into a private musical moment. Collier's harmonic palette creates an emotional depth that feels both modern and timeless, somewhere between a confessional ballad and a jazz composition that refuses easy resolution.

Who it's for

This arrangement suits advanced high school or collegiate singers with strong jazz and contemporary music exposure, as well as pianists comfortable with dense harmonic language and independent voice leading. Soloists preparing for competitions, recitals, or auditions will find the sophisticated arrangement elevates the performance level significantly.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay close attention to Collier's specific voicings and voice leading in the piano part; the harmonic color depends on exact notes rather than generic chord substitutions.
  • Allow space for the vocal line to breathe within the harmonic context rather than rushing between chord changes.
  • Balance the intimacy of the vocal melody against the textural complexity underneath, keeping the lyrical content foregrounded.

How to use it

Consider this as a showcase for an advanced vocalist in a concert featuring contemporary music, or pair it with other examples of modern jazz composition to demonstrate how the genre has evolved. The six-page length makes it substantial enough for a recital centerpiece or final-concert feature.
