More about this title

About the Composer: Glenn Slater

Glenn Slater is a Tony Award winning lyricist and composer whose work spans Broadway musicals, film scores, and concert works. His collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber on Love Never Dies and other major theatrical projects have established him as a sophisticated voice in contemporary musical theater, blending operatic sensibility with accessible melodic writing.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the emotional restraint and yearning that makes the original song so affecting, while the SSAA voicing gives women's choirs access to a Broadway showstopper that doesn't require a powerhouse belt. Theodore Hicks has respected the song's intimate architecture, letting the melody breathe without overshadowing the harmonic sophistication that Slater built into the piece.

What to expect

Tender and aching. The song unfolds with the quiet desperation of someone waiting for a voice they desperately need to hear. There is no aggressive energy here, only the vulnerability of hope and memory intertwined.

Who it's for

Women's choirs looking for a contemporary musical theater piece with genuine emotional depth. Intermediate to advanced singers will find the harmonic language rewarding and the Broadway context approachable.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the opening phrases to suggest longing rather than immediate drama; the real impact comes from cumulative emotional weight across the verse.
  • Blend the upper voices carefully during sustained chords to avoid shrillness; this song asks for warmth and patience from the soprano line.
  • Mark breath points strategically so the text lands clearly without gasping; phrasing clarity serves the lyrical storytelling here.
  • Let the ensemble support rather than overshadow a soloist if you're using one; the song works best when individual voices remain transparent.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary musical theater selections for a concert celebrating modern Broadway songwriting, or use it as a contrasting emotional anchor in a mixed program of upbeat and introspective pieces. The five page length makes it suitable for concert finales or as a standalone feature that doesn't demand extended rehearsal time.
