About the Arranger: Audrey Snyder

Audrey Snyder has become one of the most performed choral arrangers in America, with a catalog spanning Broadway, pop, jazz, and classical traditions. Her arrangements are known for their accessibility without sacrificing musical substance; she writes parts that sit comfortably for student singers while maintaining the emotional core of the original material.

Snyder's work appears regularly in middle school, high school, and college choral programs across the country. Her gift for balancing singability with sophisticated harmonic language has made her a trusted voice in music education publishing.

Why we love this

Snyder captures the intimacy and vulnerability of this duet in a way that works beautifully for SSA voicing. The arrangement respects the emotional weight of the song while creating space for genuine connection between the two melody lines, giving singers a chance to inhabit something dramatically compelling rather than technically showy.

What to expect

Introspective and tender, with the quiet intensity of two people speaking honestly to each other. The harmony creates warmth without sentimentality; there's an underlying strength beneath the vulnerability that keeps the arrangement grounded.

Who it's for

High school and college choirs seeking substantive Broadway repertoire that doesn't require a large ensemble. This works especially well for programs that value musical theater alongside concert music and want their singers developing emotional maturity in performance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody carefully between your sopranos; this song lives in the details of the vocal line, not in volume or showiness. Let the accompaniment support the singing rather than compete with it.
  • Shape each phrase toward its natural emotional peak rather than treating the song as a series of separate moments. The arc matters more than perfect rhythmic precision.
  • Work the text for meaning early. The lyrics carry the song; singers who understand the emotional context of each line will make smarter musical choices.
  • Give your singers permission to breathe musically. Snyder's phrasing allows for natural moments of reflection; use them.

How to use it

Pair this with other Snyder arrangements or Broadway selections as part of a pops or spring concert. Its intimacy also makes it valuable as a recital or competition piece where your ensemble can focus on interpretation and connection rather than scale.

Skills your students will build

  • Vocal blend in close harmonic writing
  • Shaping longer melodic phrases with intentional arc
  • Balancing solo and ensemble roles within a small group
  • Expressive text interpretation in contemporary musical theater
