More about this title

About the Composer: Cole Porter

Cole Porter (1891-1964) was an American composer and lyricist whose theatrical works defined the golden age of musical theater. His sophisticated harmonic language, witty lyrics, and gift for memorable melodies made him one of the most performed songwriters of the 20th century. Porter's songs have remained standards in jazz, popular music, and concert settings for decades, proving that great songwriting transcends its original context.

Why we love this

Mike Lewis's orchestration captures the urbane charm of Porter's original while giving full orchestra musicians genuine ensemble writing to sink their teeth into. The bass clarinet spotlight is a refreshing departure from standard Grade 4 repertoire, and that closing whisper creates a sophisticated moment that lingers with audiences. This is the kind of piece that reminds students that standards exist for a reason.

What to expect

Urbane and confident, with the kind of easy charm that comes from Porter's theatrical roots. The snappy rhythm and clean orchestration give it forward momentum, while the bass clarinet feature adds color and intrigue. That whispered ending shifts the mood into something more intimate and slightly mysterious, leaving audiences with something memorable.

Who it's for

Conductors leading Grade 4 full orchestras who want to program a recognizable standard with genuine orchestral writing and a bit of personality. This works equally well for concert bands transitioning to orchestral contexts or orchestras looking for accessible yet rewarding repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the bass clarinet feature against the ensemble so the solo voice projects without overpowering the harmonic foundation.
  • Maintain the snappy character throughout; this arrangement thrives on crisp articulation and clean section entrances rather than rushing.
  • Shape the final whisper moment carefully with your ensemble. Communicate the exact dynamic level and breath placement so the ending lands with intentional mystery rather than accident.

How to use it

Program this as a confident opener or a stylistic contrast in a concert built around standards and popular song arrangements. It pairs well with both classical repertoire and other musical theater selections, and its recognizable melody will engage audiences who may not regularly attend orchestral concerts.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing ensemble sound while featuring a solo voice
  • Maintaining rhythmic clarity in snappy, syncopated material
  • Dynamic control in extreme ranges (from full ensemble to whispered conclusion)
