About the Composer: Cinco Paul
Cinco Paul has become a defining voice in musical theater and television, with a gift for writing songs that balance emotional depth with contemporary sensibility. His work on the Schmigadoon! series demonstrates his skill at crafting numbers that feel both theatrical and deeply personal, songs that actors can sink their teeth into while audiences connect immediately.
Why we love this
Mac Huff's arrangement captures the sultry, intimate quality of Ariana DeBose's performance while making the piece genuinely singable for high school and college choirs. The harmonies feel current and sophisticated without requiring an unrealistic vocal range, and the song's emotional core gives your singers something real to perform.
What to expect
Soulful and resigned, like watching someone finally accept what they've known all along. The song sits in an intimate space, wrapping around lyrics about moving on with a richness that feels confessional rather than showy.
Who it's for
Choirs at the high school and college level with solid vocal control and comfort with contemporary musical theater style. Directors looking for a recent, recognizable number with genuine emotional stakes and a chance to explore sultry, mature character work.
How to get the most out of it
- Study the recorded performance to internalize the phrasing and rubato; this song breathes, and letting it settle into its own tempo will serve the lyrical content far better than a metronomic approach.
- Balance the parts carefully in the verses so that the lead line sits on top without the inner voices disappearing; every harmony note supports the melody's emotional weight.
- Shape the dynamics across longer phrases rather than hitting each chord change with fresh volume; sustained tension in the arrangement pays off more than constant peaks and valleys.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections for a second act that reflects current repertoire, or use it as a solo feature number that showcases a talented section or featured soloist. It also works effectively as a spring concert closer, offering emotional resolution after uptempo material.
Skills your students will build
- Singing in contemporary musical theater idiom with period-appropriate phrasing and articulation
- Balancing harmonic complexity with lyrical clarity in sustained passages
- Interpreting mature dramatic content with emotional authenticity rather than over-characterization
- Responding to rubato and flexible tempos within ensemble singing
