About the Artist: Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand is one of the most accomplished recording artists of the past six decades, known for her distinctive vocal interpretations across Broadway, pop, jazz, and film. Her approach to a song—marked by precise phrasing, emotional authenticity, and interpretive depth—has influenced generations of musicians and remains a standard for artistic integrity in popular music.

Why we love this

This arrangement gives pianists access to a contemporary adult contemporary classic with genuine emotional substance. The song's harmonic language and melodic shape reward thoughtful interpretation, making it a compelling choice for recitalists looking to program contemporary popular music alongside classical and art song repertoire.

What to expect

Warm and introspective, with the kind of intimate vulnerability that adult contemporary music does well. The arrangement captures the emotional directness of the original while giving pianists room to find their own voice in the accompaniment.

Who it's for

Pianists preparing recital programs that blend art song and contemporary material will find this a worthwhile addition. Intermediate to advanced students can explore how pop and rock idioms translate to the piano with sophistication and care.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melody with Streisand's characteristic restraint in mind; the power comes from control, not volume.
  • Pay careful attention to the harmonic progression and let it inform your touch and pedaling choices.
  • Balance accompaniment texture with melodic clarity, giving the right hand breathing room to sing.

How to use it

Program this in a recital that pairs art song with contemporary popular music, showing students how expressive depth transcends genre. It works well as a lighter closing piece or as part of a set exploring 21st-century approaches to songwriting.

Skills your students will build

  • interpreting pop and rock harmonic language on piano
