More about this title

Why we love this

This standard sits in the sweet spot between accessible and musically sophisticated. The melody is singable and memorable, while the harmonic movement gives pianists and keyboardists real material to voice and interpret, making it equally valuable in a jazz setting or a vocal coaching session.

What to expect

A tender, intimate moment. The melody unfolds with the vulnerability of someone caught in affection, while the harmonic language creates space for emotional nuance and interpretive freedom.

Who it's for

Pianists, keyboardists, and singers preparing audition material or jazz standards repertoire. Music teachers using Broadway and Great American Songbook material to develop ear training and improvisation skills in intermediate to advanced students.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melody with attention to the lyrical arc of each phrase rather than strict metric regularity. Rubato serves this song well.
  • Voice the keyboard comping to support the vocalist's range and phrasing without overwhelming the text. Restraint often sounds more elegant than fullness.
  • Treat the lead sheet as a starting point for your own harmonic choices. Small reharmonizations and altered extensions can refresh the sound without losing the song's character.

How to use it

Include this in a jazz or standards-focused recital, or pair it with other Arlen compositions to explore his theatrical voice. It also works beautifully as a solo keyboard feature or as a teaching piece for demonstrating how lead sheet notation opens doors to personal musical expression.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and interpreting lead sheet notation
  • Improvising chord voicings and accompaniment patterns
  • Balancing melody and harmony when supporting a vocalist
  • Applying rubato and musical phrasing to a melodic line
