Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (opb. Mark Ronson / Miley Cyrus)
Arranged: 2019
Performed by: UGA Noteworthy
Parts: SSSAAA w/ Solo
Duration: ~3:30
Miley Cyrus has some reminscent country-sounding vibes in this retro, Mark Ronson-infused track describing how a heartbreak is a feeling unlike any other. Simple in the making, the goal was to take the main title line ("nothing breaks like a heart") in the chorus and make that the peak in terms of dynamic and harmony. In other words, everything leading up to that from the verse to the chorus is a huge multi-measure buildup, balancing and challenging the performers on their vowel blending. Written for UGA Noteworthy, this arrangement will put my first every Miley Cyrus song into my repertoire of 40+ arrangements. Fun fact: this marks my 30th arrangement completed since arranging for other groups across the country in the past 5 months.
