More about this title

About the Composer: Benj Pasek

Benj Pasek is a lyricist and composer whose work spans Broadway, film, and concert music. He has collaborated extensively with Justin Paul on projects including the Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the Academy Award-nominated films La La Land and The Greatest Showman. His gift for clear, singable melody paired with emotionally intelligent lyrics makes his work particularly accessible for performers of all levels.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the cheerful simplicity of the original while giving singers and pianists room to shape the accompaniment expressively. The straightforward piano writing makes it manageable for intermediate accompanists, yet the vocal line has genuine character that rewards attention to phrasing and storytelling.

What to expect

Bright, purposeful, and infectiously optimistic. The melody bounces with the energy of a workday transformed into something joyful, supported by piano accompaniment that's both supportive and uncluttered.

Who it's for

Singers preparing audition material or concert repertoire will find this accessible yet substantial. Voice teachers can use it to develop students' ability to balance storytelling with technical execution in a beloved standard.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the tempo buoyant but not rushed; the whistling motion of the melody should feel effortless rather than driven.
  • Shape the piano part with subtle dynamic shaping to support the vocal line without overwhelming it.
  • Attend to the text clarity, especially in the work-themed sections where the words carry the song's charm.
  • Consider the register where your singer sits most comfortably; small transpositions are often warranted for optimal performance range.

How to use it

This works beautifully in a Disney-themed concert or as a lighter moment in a recital program that otherwise leans toward classical repertoire. It pairs well with other classic songs from animated film, offering audiences an immediate emotional connection while allowing singers to demonstrate their range across genres.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing legit and contemporary vocal production in a theatrical context
  • Accompanying a vocal line with dynamic sensitivity and clear harmonic support
  • Text expression and comedic timing without sacrificing musical integrity
  • Adjusting range and transposition to serve the performer's voice type
