More about this title

About the Artist: Lewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi emerged as one of Scotland's defining voices in contemporary pop, building his career on emotionally direct songwriting and distinctive vocal delivery. His breakout hit "Someone You Loved" became a global phenomenon, resonating across age groups and musical preferences through its unflinching examination of grief and longing.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the song's emotional weight while opening it up for choir voices without sacrificing the intimacy that makes the original so affecting. The accessibility of the voicing combined with the universality of the lyrical content means your singers will connect genuinely to the material, and your audience will recognize it immediately.

What to expect

The arrangement unfolds with quiet reflection before swelling into a cathartic release. There's an aching quality to the harmony that transforms the pop original into something choral and communal, turning personal grief into shared experience.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with audiences and feels singable across a range of voice classifications. This works equally well for sacred programs looking to expand their palette or secular ensembles building a modern concert.

How to get the most out of it

  • Prioritize legit, vulnerable singing over perfection in the vocal blend. The power of this arrangement lies in authenticity, not flawless unison.
  • Shape the dynamic arc carefully. Building from the softer opening to a full sound at the climax requires restraint and trust in your phrasing.
  • Let the text inform your tempo choices. The emotional beats of the lyrics should dictate where you breathe and where you push forward.
  • Balance the solo moments with the ensemble. If you're rotating verse features among singers, ensure they have enough rehearsal to own their lines.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary arrangements to create a segment that speaks to younger audiences and demonstrates the choir's range beyond traditional classical works. Its moderate length (13 pages) makes it ideal as a concert highlight or a strategic programming choice alongside more substantial pieces.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with emotional authenticity and textual clarity in a contemporary idiom
  • Balancing solo and ensemble sections within a pop arrangement
  • Navigating the harmonic language of contemporary songwriting
  • Connecting chord movement to emotional content
