Here is one of Céline Dion's most iconic songs, S'il suffisait d'aimer, a piece tender enough to melt any heart. The first verse opens simply, with the women's voices in unison before blossoming into harmony, later joined by the men singing soft, sustained lines (the same pattern returns in reverse for the second verse). The choruses bring the harmony to full bloom with homorhythmic choral writing, enhanced here and there by gentle echoing responses. The coda builds to an even more majestic climax before the piece closes with utter tenderness on sustained, closed-mouth notes like one final embrace wrapping around the listener. That's the promise of this SATB arrangement by Pablo Sanz.
