More about this title

About the Artist: Phil Collins

Phil Collins emerged as one of the most successful recording artists of the 1980s and 1990s, first as the drummer and later vocalist for Genesis before launching a prolific solo career. His work as a film composer and recording artist earned him widespread recognition, including an Academy Award for his song "Another Day in the Sun" from Tarzan. Collins brings a distinctive sensibility to pop and rock songwriting that emphasizes memorable melodic hooks and emotional accessibility, qualities that have made his music enduringly popular in educational and concert settings.

Why we love this

Jim Clements has crafted an arrangement that honors the song's infectious melodic character while making it genuinely singable for student choirs. The divisi writing creates natural opportunities for blend work without overwhelming emerging singers, and the orchestration stays energetic without demanding constant intensity.

What to expect

The piece captures the song's irrepressible forward motion and sense of optimism. There's a buoyancy to both melody and harmony that invites singers to feel the rhythm in their bodies while maintaining clarity in the text and tuning.

Who it's for

This arrangement works well for middle school through young high school choirs seeking engaging contemporary repertoire that connects with students' musical references. It offers the right balance of challenge and accessibility for developing ensembles building confidence in divisi singing.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the groove steady and buoyant. This song lives in its rhythmic momentum, so lock the tempo early in rehearsals and reinforce it consistently.
  • Balance the divisi sections carefully so inner voices support rather than compete with the melody. Listen to exposed harmonic moments to ensure all four parts are heard.
  • Let the text drive your phrasing. The lyrics contain natural narrative moments that should shape your interpretive choices and dynamic contours.
  • Shape phrases with conviction rather than dynamic variation. Some of the most effective moments come from maintaining energy while shifting vowel colors or articulation.

How to use it

Program this in a set devoted to film and popular music, where it pairs naturally with other contemporary arrangements or movie soundtrack selections. It also works as an opener for a concert when you want to establish energy and engagement from the first moments.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in divisi SATB textures with clear part independence
  • Maintaining rhythmic precision in contemporary grooves
  • Balancing solo melodic lines against harmonic accompaniment
  • Delivering pop and contemporary vocal style with clarity and control
