More about this title

About the Composer: Harvey Schmidt

Harvey Schmidt composed the score for The Fantasticks, the longest-running musical in American theater history. His gift for memorable melody and emotional directness shaped a work that has touched generations of audiences and continues to define contemporary musical theater for students and professionals alike.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the forward momentum and emotional lift of Schmidt's original while tailoring it specifically for men's voices. Larry Shackley's 4-hand piano accompaniment is both accessible and musically generous, giving the piece cinematic scope without overwhelming the singers or requiring extra instrumental forces.

What to expect

Propulsive and hopeful. The piece builds from a grounded beginning into something genuinely stirring, driven by forward-motion harmony and a melody that sits naturally in the men's tessiture. It carries the theatrical warmth of its source while feeling fresh in this arrangement.

Who it's for

Men's choirs at the high school, college, and community levels looking for contemporary repertoire with genuine emotional stakes. Directors programming Broadway or musical theater concerts will find this octavo both musically satisfying and immediately recognizable to audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Maintain the driving pulse throughout; this song's power lives in its relentless forward motion, so resist the urge to slow down in the final phrases.
  • Shape the dynamic arc deliberately across all four parts. Balance is critical when the parts move independently, especially in the middle section.
  • Work the piano accompaniment early with your rehearsal accompanist. The 4-hand writing creates texture and momentum that singers will lock into once they hear it consistently.
  • Lock the text to the melody with precision. Broadway repertoire demands clarity of diction, and this song's inspirational message lands only when every word lands cleanly.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary choral arrangements for a Broadway-themed concert, or use it as the climactic moment in a program that mixes Broadway with other styles. Its inspirational text and strong finish make it an effective closing number or powerful emotional turn in a mixed repertoire set.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining forward momentum through sustained harmonic progressions
  • Balancing four independent voice parts while maintaining textural clarity
  • Singing in contemporary Broadway style with clear diction and emotional directness
  • Coordinating ensemble work with a complex 4-hand piano accompaniment
