More about this title

About the Composer: Mark Charlap

Mark Charlap composed music for Broadway and film during the mid-twentieth century, bringing a lyrical sensibility and memorable melodic gift to popular entertainment. His work on Peter Pan, including the song "I'm Flying," exemplifies his ability to craft music that captures theatrical magic while remaining accessible to performers and audiences alike.

Why we love this

This arrangement by Sally K. Albrecht transforms a theatrical classic into a partner song that lets your choir experience the joy of Peter Pan's most iconic moment. The novelty format and recorded accompaniment make it an engaging, achievable addition to any pop choral program without sacrificing the soaring quality of Charlap's original melody.

What to expect

The music radiates childlike wonder and effortless grace, capturing that magical moment when Peter Pan first teaches others to fly. The melody soars with optimism and lightness, inviting singers to experience the pure joy of the narrative moment through music that feels both theatrical and genuinely moving.

Who it's for

This piece suits choirs ranging from middle school through community and professional ensembles who want to include recognizable Broadway material without heavy technical demands. Its novelty classification and partner song structure make it ideal for concerts aimed at family audiences or those programming lighter, theatrical repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the lift and buoyancy of the melody; think of the vocal line as floating rather than driving forward, which captures the wonder of flight.
  • Balance the two melodic lines carefully in the partner song sections so each group can be heard distinctly without either part overwhelming the other.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in your ensemble's phrasing and rhythmic precision, then gradually reduce reliance on it for rehearsals once confidence builds.
  • Shape the dynamics with the text in mind; lift the phrase "I'm flying" with genuine excitement to convey the character's sense of freedom and discovery.

How to use it

Program this as a concert highlight or closer when you're building a show-themed program or want to include Broadway classics your audience will recognize and enjoy. The partner song format also makes it an excellent piece for demonstrating ensemble flexibility and part independence to community stakeholders.

Skills your students will build

  • Part independence in partner song textures
  • Sustained legato singing through lyrical melodic writing
  • Theatrical expression and character connection in pop repertoire
  • Ensemble balance and blend across two independent melodic lines
