More about this title
About the Composer: Philip Lawrence
Philip Lawrence co-wrote "Treasure" with Bruno Mars and Ari Levine, crafting one of Mars's signature pop hits. Lawrence has established himself as a songwriter and producer for major pop artists, bringing both melodic sensibility and commercial appeal to his work. His compositions often blend contemporary grooves with accessible hooks that resonate across audiences.
Why we love this
Victor López's arrangement captures the infectious energy of the original while keeping the ensemble writing transparent and playable at Grade 2 level. The rock groove and memorable hook make this an instant crowd-pleaser that builds ensemble morale without demanding virtuosic solos. Programming this early in a concert or festival set guarantees immediate audience engagement.
What to expect
Bright, propulsive, and undeniably modern. The rock-influenced groove with jazz ensemble orchestration creates a swinging energy that feels current and fun without losing musicality. From the opening measures, this piece has the infectious forward momentum of a track you'd hear on the radio.
Who it's for
Jazz ensembles at the high school and middle school level looking for contemporary repertoire that connects with student musicians and audiences alike. Directors programming pops concerts, festival sets, or mixed-genre shows will find this a natural fit that doesn't require advanced technical demands.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rhythm section (bass, drums, piano) into the 116 BPM groove first; a solid foundation lets the horns sit comfortably on top and frees everyone to phrase naturally.
- Balance the lead trumpet line so it cuts through without overwhelming the ensemble; this melody drives the song, and audiences know it.
- Lean into the hip ensemble interlude rhythmically; precision here pays off more than legit tone, and the section work should feel locked and confident.
- The optional vibraphone part adds color and contemporary flavor if you have the player available; consider how it changes the texture during the interlude.
How to use it
Place this early in a concert to establish audience rapport and high energy. It pairs well with other contemporary jazz arrangements or sits comfortably in a pops program alongside standards, offering an accessible entry point for ensembles still building jazz vocabulary.
Skills your students will build
- Executing a consistent rock groove and maintaining tempo in a straightforward ensemble setting
- Balancing section writing where multiple horns share melodic and harmonic duties
- Phrasing contemporary pop melodies within jazz ensemble voicings
- Reading and performing optional parts (vibraphone) that enhance arrangement texture without being essential
