More about this title
About the Artist: Naomi Scott
Naomi Scott rose to prominence as an actress and singer, bringing her classical training and musical theater experience to film and television roles. Her performance as Princess Jasmine in Disney's 2019 live-action Aladdin marked a significant moment in the franchise, with her rendition of "Speechless" becoming the defining vocal interpretation of this powerful contemporary addition to the Disney canon.
Why we love this
Jacob Narverud's arrangement captures the emotional arc of Scott's recorded performance while remaining accessible for student choirs. The writing honors both the contemporary pop sensibility of Menken's score and the theatrical demands of the piece, making it engaging for singers who grew up with this film.
What to expect
The piece radiates defiance and self-determination. There's an undercurrent of building intensity beneath the soaring melody, with moments of vulnerability that give way to powerful affirmations of agency. The orchestration amplifies this emotional journey, moving from intimate moments to sweeping, triumphant passages.
Who it's for
This arrangement works for middle school and high school choirs seeking contemporary Disney repertoire with strong vocal writing. It appeals to programs that want to engage students in material they know and love while maintaining musical substance.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal lines against the instrumental accompaniment so lyrics remain clear; this arrangement benefits from singers who can project over a full band texture without shouting.
- Shape the dynamics across the full arc rather than holding back energy. The piece builds intentionally, and early restraint pays off when the final chorus arrives.
- Connect to the character's journey through vocal choices. Jasmine moves from constraint to liberation in this song, and that emotional trajectory should breathe in the performance.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with other contemporary Disney or film music selections for a concert celebrating music from screen to stage. It also works beautifully as a showcase piece for a strong soprano soloist with choir support, or it can anchor a program highlighting strong female characters in musical theater.
