“Don’t really wanna make it tough, I just wanna tell you that I had enough.”
N’Sync is one of the biggest bands of the late 90′s. And with reason, their music is awesome. Yep, there – I said it. A classical composer claims the greatness that is N’Sync. So when I was thrilled to receive so many requests for ‘Bye Bye Bye’. Here it is:
Doing dance tracks like Lady Gaga, MGMT, or even The Cure are tons of fun. I’ve been wanting to arrange N’Sync for weeks, and am thrilled how this turned out. The lyrics were different than the other songs. Its a piece about leaving, rather than wanting. And there’s beauty in that, because sometimes leaving creates new beginnings – whether in relationships, careers, or anything.
When arranging NSync, I really wanted to capture the vocal harmonies that you often hear within their songs. As a result, I really enjoyed having the woodwinds and strings harmonize the lines similar to Timberlake’s or Lance Bass’ voice. JC Chasez also performed on BT’s Somnambulist – which I arranged too.
Similar to the original, the arrangement starts with the violins, and I use the horns in or to accent the downbeat of each measure while the flutes perform. The strings build the tension within the ‘Bye Bye Bye’ chorus, and I wrote in pizzicato strings to create the calm before the final chorus.
