More about this title
About the Composer: Philip Lawrence
Philip Lawrence is a songwriter and producer who has crafted hits across pop, R&B, and hip-hop since the 2000s. He co-wrote and produced several of Bruno Mars' biggest songs, including tracks on this collection, bringing a sharp ear for melody and radio-friendly hooks that have defined modern pop music.
Why we love this
This collection spans genuine hits that students actually know and want to sing, eliminating the disconnect between what's on the page and what's in their heads. The mix of pop, country, and theatrical songs gives you flexibility to match repertoire to your ensemble's interests while maintaining genuine musicianship and arrangement quality.
What to expect
This collection captures the emotional range of contemporary pop music: celebratory club anthems sit alongside intimate ballads, uplifting movie songs, and country-inflected storytelling. The arrangements honor each song's original character while remaining accessible for ensemble performance.
Who it's for
Solo vocalists preparing recital repertoire, pop and contemporary music ensembles, high school choirs exploring modern songwriting, and jazz or contemporary music programs seeking familiar material for engagement and skill-building. Pianists accompanying singers will find clear harmonic frameworks and singable vocal lines that don't require extensive arrangement work.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal line with the piano accompaniment by having singers shape dynamics around the song's original recording, then adjust rehearsal balances so lyrics remain clear.
- Treat the guitar chord diagrams as a resource for ensemble playing; players unfamiliar with chord voicings can compare them to the piano part to understand harmonic movement.
- When working with multiple vocalists on different songs, establish consistent approaches to breath placement and phrase endings so transitions between pieces feel intentional.
How to use it
These songs work well in a contemporary music concert, pop showcase, or themed program celebrating 21st century songwriting. You can also draw individual pieces for audition preparation, recital accompaniment, or as teaching examples of how modern writers structure melody and harmony for maximum impact.
Skills your students will build
- Interpreting vocal phrasing from piano accompaniment patterns
- Reading chord symbols and understanding their relationship to piano voicings
- Styling contemporary music with attention to rhythmic groove and lyrical storytelling
- Collaborating as vocalist and accompanist to balance transparency and support
