About the Artist: Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake built his career on the intersection of pop songwriting, vocal arranging, and production work that shapes how contemporary choral music sounds. His collaborations span multiple genres and consistently demonstrate an ear for harmonic depth and layered vocal textures that translates exceptionally well to ensemble settings.
Why we love this
Mac Huff's arrangement respects the original's emotional weight while giving your singers genuinely singable parts that still feel current and substantial. The partnership between Timberlake and Chris Stapleton creates a perfect vehicle for building vocal independence, as singers learn to hold their own line while others carry the melody.
What to expect
Intimate and powerful at once. The arrangement sits in territory that feels both modern and timeless, building from spare vulnerability to full harmonic richness. There's a restraint to it that makes the moments of intensity land harder.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking contemporary repertoire with genuine vocal substance and groups ready to tackle the blend and intonation demands of layered four part writing. This works for advanced high school and college choirs looking to program something current without sacrificing musical integrity.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal parts so they blend as a unified choral sound rather than competing soloists. The arrangement works best when ensemble blend outweighs individual prominence.
- Study the original recording to understand the dynamic shape of the song, but trust Huff's notation. His part writing often suggests phrasing intentions that differ slightly from the vocal production.
- Give yourself rehearsal time on the harmonic transitions, particularly where the arrangement modulates or shifts the chord progression. These moments define the arrangement's identity.
How to use it
Pair this with other pop or contemporary selections to create a cohesive set that showcases your ensemble's range across genres. It also works as a concert closer because the emotional arc gives audiences a satisfying final impression without demanding constant high energy.
Skills your students will build
- Singing independent harmonic lines within a dense four-part texture
- Balancing individual voice part clarity with ensemble blend
- Navigating rhythmic and harmonic shifts characteristic of modern pop arranging
- Sustaining vocal control through dynamic contrasts from soft passages to climactic sections
