More about this title

About the Artist: Celine Dion

Celine Dion's career spans decades of chart-dominating ballads and powerhouse vocal performances that have shaped contemporary pop music. Her 1997 recording of "My Heart Will Go On" became a cultural phenomenon, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song and establishing itself as one of the most recognizable film themes in cinema history.

Why we love this

Alan Billingsley's arrangement preserves the song's emotional sweep while making it genuinely singable for young voices. The two-part voicing opens this Oscar-winning ballad to middle school and early high school choirs without diluting the melody that audiences know by heart.

What to expect

The song carries the aching tenderness of the film's central romance, with moments of quiet vulnerability giving way to fuller, more passionate expression. Even at the two-part level, the harmonic support creates the warmth and orchestral scope that made the original unforgettable.

Who it's for

This arrangement serves choirs looking for accessible yet emotionally mature repertoire with built-in audience recognition. It works particularly well for programs where you need a piece that engages singers while also connecting with families in the audience.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the phrase lines generously; this arrangement rewards singers who think in long, connected phrases rather than note-by-note execution.
  • Balance the part writing so the melody remains prominent even when harmonies enter. The supporting line should enhance rather than compete with the main tune.
  • Let the dynamic arc build gradually through the middle section. Resist the urge to arrive at full volume too early in the piece.
  • Consider the vowel consistency across both parts, especially on the sustained notes where blend becomes audible to listeners.

How to use it

Pair this with other film themes or pop arrangements for a movie night concert, or use it as the emotional anchor in a set built around contemporary music. Its familiarity makes it an excellent choice for recruiting singers reluctant to try choir, and its ten-page length means rehearsal time stays reasonable.

Skills your students will build

  • sustaining tone across longer phrases without losing breath support
  • balancing melody and harmony within a two-part texture
  • interpreting dynamic markings to shape emotional arcs
  • executing the legit vowel modifications needed for this style of music
