More about this title

About the Composer: Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz has shaped musical theater for five decades, composing for stage works that have reached millions of listeners across Broadway, film, and television. His gift for melody combined with emotionally direct storytelling makes his music accessible to performers at every level while maintaining theatrical sophistication. Schwartz's scores have earned him Grammy, Oscar, and Tony recognition, and his music remains a cornerstone of choral and theater music education.

Why we love this

John Leavitt's arrangement captures the intimate warmth of this Schwartz standard without overwhelming younger or developing choirs. The writing sits comfortably for mixed voices while preserving the song's emotional core, making it an ideal choice for programs that value Broadway repertoire with genuine substance.

What to expect

Tender and conversational, this piece unfolds with the warmth of two voices sharing a moment of connection. The harmonies feel both contemporary and timeless, never oversentimental, with a quiet confidence that lets the emotional truth of the text emerge naturally.

Who it's for

High school, college, and community choirs seeking Broadway literature that combines accessibility with musicality. Directors programming concert or pops repertoire will find this arrangement maintains fidelity to Schwartz's original concept while remaining performable by mixed ensembles with modest ranges and technical demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody across voice parts by identifying where it shifts; don't let sopranos dominate when the tune passes to altos or tenors.
  • Shape phrases around the text rather than mechanical phrase markings; let the lyrical content guide your breath and dynamic placement.
  • Keep the harmonic foundation steady in the lower voices, which ground this piece's gentle but clear harmonic movement.
  • Treat this as a chamber piece despite the SATB format; listen for blend and transparency rather than volume.

How to use it

Pair this with other Schwartz selections for a focused Broadway program, or use it as a centerpiece in a concert mixing theater and concert repertoire. Its moderate length and straightforward preparation also make it suitable as a second-half opener, providing contrast to more demanding contemporary or classical pieces.
