More about this title

About the Artist: Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt has become one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary film, bringing emotional depth and precision to every role she takes on. Her performance as Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns showcased her vocal talents alongside her acting abilities, earning her critical acclaim and introducing audiences to a new generation of Sondheim's songcraft.

Why we love this

Mac Huff's SAB arrangement captures the emotional restraint and gentle warmth of this Stephen Sondheim gem without oversimplifying the harmonic language. The piece works beautifully for choirs seeking repertoire that sounds sophisticated yet remains accessible to three-part singers, and it gives audiences a moment of quiet reflection in any concert.

What to expect

Tender and introspective, this song unfolds like a lullaby for adults. The arrangement preserves the quiet magic of Sondheim's melody while letting the voices create warmth through harmonic color rather than volume.

Who it's for

Choirs at the intermediate level and above will find this arrangement engaging without excessive difficulty. The piece suits both secular ensembles looking to expand beyond traditional classical fare and school choirs wanting to include contemporary film music with substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening phrases to mirror speech patterns rather than singing them as strict musical lines; the conversational quality of Sondheim's lyrics depends on natural phrasing over mechanical rhythm.
  • Balance the three voice parts so the sopranos never dominate the altos and baritones, especially in moments where the harmony thickens. This piece rewards transparency.
  • Allow space for breath between phrases, even when rests aren't explicitly marked. The song's contemplative nature relies on silence as much as sound.

How to use it

This works as a gentle concert opener or a reflective centerpiece that shifts the emotional temperature of your program. It pairs naturally with other contemporary American music or stands alone as an intermission piece that draws audiences back in with its intimate beauty.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing legit mixed meter (the song's flexible phrasing creates rhythmic independence between parts)
  • Balancing three-part harmony with equal weight on all voices
  • Executing a slow-moving, lyrical melodic line with consistent vocal tone
  • Responding to the emotional subtext of Sondheim's lyrics through dynamic control
