More about this title
About the Composer: Carolyn Leigh
Carolyn Leigh was a lyricist and composer whose sharp wit and imaginative storytelling shaped some of Broadway's most enduring music. Her collaborations with composers including Mark Charlap on Peter Pan produced songs that balance theatrical charm with genuine musical sophistication, earning her a place among the most important voices in mid-century musical theater.
Why we love this
Bob Cerulli's arrangement captures the theatrical sparkle of Peter Pan while keeping the string writing accessible and satisfying for Grade 2.5 orchestras. The medley structure gives you a complete performance package in just over four minutes, making it ideal for concerts where you want Broadway energy without demanding extensive rehearsal time. The harmonic color and rhythmic detail elevate this beyond typical pop arrangements, rewarding both careful listening and solid musicianship.
What to expect
Soaring and whimsical, with just enough harmonic sophistication to keep experienced players engaged. The arrangement invites the orchestra into the theatrical world of Peter Pan while maintaining the spirited energy that makes these songs so memorable.
Who it's for
String orchestras at the Grade 2.5 level who want to add theatrical repertoire to their concerts without sacrificing musical integrity. This works equally well for ensembles seeking engaging pops concert material or directors looking to introduce students to Broadway songwriting and orchestration.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melodic lines carefully between sections. When the violins carry the main theme, ensure violas and cellos provide supportive weight without muddying the texture.
- Keep the rhythm section (cellos and basses) locked and confident throughout. The medley's character depends on rhythmic clarity and a steady harmonic foundation.
- Shape each song's phrasing distinctly. I'm Flying and I Won't Grow Up have different emotional arcs; make sure your interpretation reflects the shift between them.
- Use dynamic contrast to clarify the arrangement's structure. Lighter sections should feel weightless; fuller sections should bloom with confidence and warmth.
How to use it
This medley pairs beautifully with other light concert works in a spring or pops program, offering a nostalgic centerpiece that appeals to audiences across all ages. It's also effective as an opener or closer, drawing listeners into a program with immediate melodic appeal and character.
