More about this title

About the Artist: Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars emerged as one of the defining pop artists of the 2010s, known for his meticulous production, infectious melodies, and deep knowledge of music history. His work draws from soul, funk, R&B, and rock traditions, which shows up clearly in songs like "Treasure" that balance contemporary pop sensibility with timeless groove.

Why we love this

Hans Reintjes has crafted an arrangement that preserves the song's irresistible swagger while making it genuinely singable for upper voices. The 106-page score gives you plenty of room for expression and variety, and the pop idiom connects directly to what your singers hear on streaming services every day.

What to expect

Confident, warm, and rhythmically grounded. The song carries an earthy funkiness wrapped in pop production sensibilities, creating an arrangement that feels both modern and surprisingly sustainable for choral singing across an extended text.

Who it's for

Directors working with women's choirs, all-female sections of mixed ensembles, or treble voices looking to program contemporary pop that actually respects the vocal range. This works equally well for high school and college programs wanting to build connections between concert repertoire and students' listening lives.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythmic feel locked and conversational throughout. This arrangement thrives on groove rather than classical precision, so encourage your singers to think about the pocket of the rhythm section even when they're carrying the main line.
  • Balance the soprano and alto lines carefully during moments where they split. The arrangement likely uses divisi to create texture, so ensure each voice part retains clarity without one part dominating.
  • Lean into the percussive language of the original. Where the arrangement includes rhythmic hits or syncopation, treat those moments with the same care you'd give articulation in classical music.

How to use it

Consider pairing this with other pop or contemporary arrangements to create a cohesive set that shows your choir's range, or feature it on a concert focused on music from the 2010s. The length and difficulty level suggest it could anchor a shorter program or serve as a strong closer.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic control in syncopated pop idioms
  • Blending SSA/SSAA voicing while maintaining line independence
  • Phrasing and expression in contemporary music contexts
  • Articulation choices specific to funk-influenced grooves
