More about this title
About the Composer: Annie Lennox
Annie Lennox emerged as one of the defining voices of 1980s pop and new wave music, first as the keyboardist and vocalist of Eurythmics alongside Dave Stewart. Her distinctive alto voice and sophisticated songwriting drew from soul, funk, and electronic music traditions, creating songs that balanced commercial appeal with genuine artistic depth. Since her work as a performer and composer, Lennox has remained influential in music education circles for demonstrating how strong melodic writing and rhythmic precision can coexist in popular music.
Why we love this
This chart captures the infectious energy of a certified 80s hit without sacrificing musical substance. The hot ensemble licks and driving rhythm section create an irresistible groove that keeps students engaged while the up-tempo feel naturally sharpens their time feel and articulation. It's the kind of arrangement that makes jazz ensemble rehearsal genuinely fun.
What to expect
Propulsive and infectious. The relentless rhythmic pulse creates an immediate sense of forward momentum, while the ensemble licks inject sharp, coordinated excitement. There's a sleek, polished quality that reflects the original recording's production values alongside genuine groove.
Who it's for
Jazz ensemble directors looking for high-energy, student-friendly material that appeals to contemporary tastes without compromising musicality. Bands at the Grade 4 level will find the ensemble writing challenging enough to build skills while remaining accessible for solid section players.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the articulation across the ensemble licks. These brief, punchy lines rely on everybody hitting the same syllable and release point for maximum impact.
- Keep the rhythmic pulse relentless but never rushed. The chart's power comes from a solid, confident groove rather than chasing the tempo.
- Balance the soloists with the ensemble. The hot licks should frame and support rather than overshadow individual improvisations or featured passages.
- Shape phrases through dynamic contrast. Even up-tempo rock charts benefit from small swell and release gestures that prevent the energy from becoming one-dimensional.
How to use it
Include this in a concert celebrating pop and rock music of the 1980s, or pair it with other contemporary jazz arrangements to show students how the ensemble can tackle modern material with the same musicianship required for classic standards. The up-tempo nature also makes it an excellent closer for a set, sending audiences out with energy and leaving your ensemble feeling accomplished.
Skills your students will build
- Ensemble articulation and synchronized phrasing across sections
- Maintaining steady tempo and groove in funk-influenced rock charts
- Balancing soloists with ensemble accompaniment
- Playing with precision in fast-moving, syncopated lines
