More about this title

About the Artist: Charles Strouse

Charles Strouse composed the score for Annie, one of Broadway's most enduring musicals, which premiered in 1977 and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. His gift for writing memorable melodies that appeal equally to young performers and adult audiences established him as a master of musical theater for family entertainment.

Strouse's work across Broadway, film, and television demonstrates a consistent ability to craft songs that are both emotionally resonant and immediately singable. His compositions have become staples in school and community music programs worldwide, introducing countless students to the joy of musical storytelling.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the quiet hope of the song while staying true to Strouse's gift for simplicity and emotional directness. On ukulele, the familiar melody becomes intimate and accessible, making it an ideal choice for young musicians or for accompanying a vocalist in a classroom or small ensemble setting.

What to expect

Hopeful and tender, with the kind of optimistic simplicity that has made this song resonate across generations. The ukulele arrangement strips away orchestral grandeur and invites performers into something more personal and genuine.

Who it's for

Students learning ukulele who are ready to tackle a song with emotional depth and pedagogical value. This works equally well in a general music class exploring Broadway repertoire or as a solo vehicle for a young performer.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo steady and unhurried; resist the urge to rush through the melody, which thrives on space and reflection.
  • Voice the chords clearly enough that harmonic changes remain audible, even on ukulele's limited dynamic range.
  • Shape phrases with subtle dynamic shaping rather than dramatic swells; the song's power lies in its restraint.

How to use it

Feature this in a Broadway or film music concert, or pair it with other Strouse selections for a thematic program celebrating musical theater for young audiences. It also serves as a powerful closing number for a school assembly or end-of-year performance.
