More about this title

About the Artist: Pasek Paul

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are the songwriting duo behind some of the most performed theatrical music of the past decade. Their work on The Greatest Showman brought contemporary pop sensibility to the circus narrative, creating songs that resonate far beyond the film itself. In educational settings, their music has become a staple because it engages young singers with current, relevant material while maintaining strong melodic and harmonic structure.

Why we love this

Mac Huff's arrangement captures the soaring optimism of this song while keeping the vocal writing singable and the accompaniment accessible. The piece works equally well as a concert opener or an inspiring closer, and the emotional arc builds naturally without requiring dramatic vocal gymnastics from your singers.

What to expect

Warm and hopeful, with an undercurrent of genuine vulnerability. The melody invites singers into a personal headspace where ambition and imagination feel both achievable and wondrous. There's a cinematic quality throughout that keeps audiences invested in what your singers are expressing.

Who it's for

This arrangement serves choirs of intermediate skill and above who want material that speaks to current audiences. It works beautifully in schools looking to program film and television music alongside traditional repertoire, and it connects with singers who respond to modern songwriting.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melody so it emerges clearly from the harmony voices, especially if you're working with mixed ability singers. This song lives and dies on its lyrical expressivity.
  • Lean into the contemporary pop feel rather than oversinging it. These are intimate dreams we're hearing about, not operatic pronouncements.
  • Let the accompaniment breathe during the verse sections. Space and simplicity make the emotional moments land harder.

How to use it

Open your spring concert with this piece to set an aspirational tone for the entire evening, or use it as the centerpiece of a themed program about creativity and courage. The song also pairs naturally with other contemporary film and Broadway selections if you're building a modern music set.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining emotional communication across a long melodic line
  • Balancing contemporary pop phrasing with choral blend
  • Working with film and television repertoire at concert level
  • Layering harmony voices to support rather than cover the melody
