More about this title

About the Composer: Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz has shaped musical theater for nearly five decades, bringing distinctive melodic sensibility and emotional depth to Broadway and beyond. His work spans from early collaborations on "Godspell" and "Pippin" through the blockbuster successes of "Wicked" and "Enchanted," establishing him as one of the most performed composers in contemporary theater.

Why we love this

Jay Althouse's arrangement captures the intimate vulnerability of Schwartz's original melody while opening it up for choir voices in genuine four-part writing. Directors programming a contemporary season appreciate how this piece straddles accessible pop sensibility with legitimate choral craft, giving singers something emotionally resonant to perform rather than a watered-down novelty.

What to expect

The arrangement sustains a quiet, introspective quality throughout, with harmonies that support rather than overwhelm the melody's gentle contour. Singers experience the piece as lyrical and contemplative, the kind of selection that settles into a concert's emotional landscape rather than commanding immediate attention.

Who it's for

Any SATB choir seeking contemporary repertoire that connects with audiences without sacrificing musical substance. This works equally well for high school choirs developing taste for legitimate pop arrangements and college or community ensembles programming lighter concert segments.

How to get the most out of it

  • Honor the gentle phrasing by resisting the urge to conduct busily; let the voices breathe through the haunting melody with long, connected lines.
  • Balance the arrangement so that the melody remains prominent without burying the harmonic support; SATB blend matters here, not blend that flattens character.
  • If using recorded accompaniment, allow rehearsal time for singers to internalize phrase lengths and emotional pacing before adding the track, so they own the performance rather than chase it.

How to use it

Use this as a reprieve in a varied concert, placing it after higher-energy selections or as part of a contemporary pop segment. Its eight-page length makes it practical for mixed concert programming, and its emotional tone pairs naturally with other Broadway selections or original choral works exploring intimate themes.

Skills your students will build

  • sustaining legit phrasing through pop-influenced harmonic language
  • balancing melody and harmony in accessible four-part writing
  • responding to recorded accompaniment with rhythmic independence
