More about this title

About the Composer: Harvey Schmidt

Harvey Schmidt composed the score for The Fantasticks, the longest-running musical in off-Broadway history. His gift for melody and emotional directness shaped American musical theater for generations. Schmidt's work balances accessibility with genuine artistry, making his compositions natural fits for choral ensembles seeking material with both theatrical polish and musical substance.

Why we love this

This song brings the warmth and singability of Broadway into a choral arrangement that feels contemporary without abandoning the intimacy of Schmidt's original writing. The recorded accompaniment frees you from sourcing a pianist and lets your singers focus entirely on blend and expression.

What to expect

The song opens with sincerity and builds with quiet conviction. There's an optimistic quality to the melody that feels earned rather than saccharine, supported by harmonies that sit comfortably in the voice without excessive demands.

Who it's for

This song works for mixed or treble choirs at the intermediate level who want Broadway repertoire that doesn't require a pit band. It appeals to directors programming concerts with contemporary theatrical energy or looking for a palate-cleansing piece between classical and pop selections.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody line so it floats above the inner voices rather than pushing through them; this arrangement rewards transparency over volume.
  • Let the recorded accompaniment set a natural, conversational tempo in rehearsal so your singers can settle into the song's emotional center before fine-tuning details.
  • Mark phrase shapes during early rehearsals so singers understand where lines breathe, especially in passages where accompanying voices sustain beneath a moving melody.

How to use it

Position this mid-program where you need a mood shift toward warmth and directness. It pairs well with other contemporary choral works or serves as a bridge between classical and pop repertoire in a diverse concert.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining legit singing tone across sustained notes without pressing
  • Balancing melody and harmony in close voicing
  • Maintaining musical shape through a recorded accompaniment
  • Singing with theatrical expression without oversinging
