More about this title

About the Artist: Michael Buble

Michael Bublé has become a defining voice in contemporary jazz and pop, known for his smooth vocal tone and sophisticated interpretations of standards alongside original compositions. His approach to melody and phrasing offers singers valuable lessons in legit vocal production, interpretive nuance, and the art of understatement in performance.

Why we love this

Mac Huff's arrangement brings genuine warmth to this deeply personal ballad without overshadowing the lyrical heart of the song. The SSA voicing allows your section to inhabit the vulnerability of the piece while maintaining the sophistication Bublé's original conveys, making it accessible for younger or developing choirs without sacrificing emotional depth.

What to expect

Intimate and conversational, like someone sharing a deeply personal memory in a quiet room. The arrangement creates space for vulnerability while never feeling sparse, balancing simplicity with harmonic richness.

Who it's for

SSA and SSAA choirs looking for emotionally mature repertoire that doesn't demand extensive vocal range. Works equally well for high school groups seeking contemporary material with melodic substance or community choirs wanting something familiar that still challenges musicianship.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the dynamic arc across entire phrases rather than within them. The arrangement rewards singers who commit to long lines and resist the urge to pull back early.
  • Balance blend in the thirds and sixths thoughtfully. These intervals can either lock the harmony into place or muddy it depending on vowel consistency and tuning clarity.
  • Let the text inform your rubato. The conversational nature of the lyric suggests occasional flexibility with tempo that should feel organic rather than calculated.
  • Support the altos when the melody sits lower in their range. This keeps the top voice from feeling isolated and maintains the warmth of the overall sound.

How to use it

Pair this with other art songs or contemporary ballads to create a concert section exploring vulnerability and introspection. Its moderate length and single page requirement make it ideal for a spring concert that needs a lyrical anchor without dominating rehearsal time.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing through sustained phrases without breath interruption
  • Matching vowels across multiple voice parts for harmonic blend
  • Balancing independence and integration in three-part writing
  • Interpreting contemporary popular song with musical substance
