More about this title

About the Composer: Charles Strouse

Charles Strouse composed the music for Annie, one of Broadway's most enduring musicals, which opened in 1977 and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. His gift for writing memorable melodies that resonate across generations made him a central figure in musical theater during the latter half of the twentieth century. Strouse's ability to craft songs that capture profound emotional truths in accessible, singable lines has made his work a cornerstone of music education repertoire.

Beyond Annie, Strouse contributed significantly to Broadway with scores for Applause, Golden Boy, and Bye Bye Birdie, demonstrating his range across comedy, drama, and social commentary. His melodies have been arranged countless times for educational ensembles, making his work an essential part of introducing young musicians to the Broadway canon.

Why we love this

This arrangement brings authentic Broadway excitement to an intermediate string orchestra without requiring advanced technical facility. Michael Kamuf's orchestration respects the melody's inherent strength while using the added colors of drumset and percussion to energize the performance, creating a piece that feels immediately rewarding to play and genuinely moving to hear.

What to expect

Hopeful and driving, grounded in one of Broadway's most iconic melodies. The arrangement respects the song's emotional core while adding rhythmic vitality and modern color, transforming a theatrical moment into an orchestral statement that feels both familiar and freshly arranged.

Who it's for

String orchestras at the intermediate level looking for repertoire that connects to popular music and Broadway. This piece works equally well for students encountering musical theater literature for the first time and for ensembles seeking accessible concert material with genuine artistic substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Allow the melody to breathe during the verse sections; resist the urge to rush even as the accompaniment patterns suggest forward motion.
  • Balance the drumset and percussion so they enhance rather than overpower the strings. These colors should feel integrated, not layered on top.
  • Shape the phrasing toward the climactic moments, building intensity gradually so the final statement of the melody lands with full emotional weight.

How to use it

Program this as a centerpiece in a concert celebrating Broadway or popular music, where it can anchor a set of lighter fare. Its accessibility and inherent appeal make it an excellent choice for family-friendly performances or as a bridge between classical and contemporary repertoire in a longer program.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing melody against rhythmic accompaniment figures
  • Responding to percussion and drumset cues in a pop-influenced ensemble context
  • Shaping longer melodic lines across multiple phrases
  • Playing with stylistic awareness in a Broadway-adjacent idiom
