About the Composer: Jennie Lee Riddle
Jennie Lee Riddle is a prolific composer and worship leader whose output spans hymns, contemporary songs, and choral works for church and concert settings. Her compositions consistently merge accessible melodies with thoughtful harmonic language, making them equally at home in Sunday services and festival performances. Riddle's work has been recorded by numerous artists and performed in churches across denominations, reflecting her gift for writing music that speaks both theologically and musically.
Why we love this
Dan Smith's orchestration transforms this song into something substantial enough for concert performance while keeping the emotional accessibility that made the original compelling. The arrangement respects the melody and message without over-complicating them, giving your ensemble room to shape the text with confidence. A piece that works equally well in a worship service or as part of a broader choral concert program is rare.
What to expect
The piece carries quiet assurance rather than triumphalism. There's warmth in the orchestration and stability in the harmonic movement, creating a musical environment where the text about provision and trust feels genuinely grounded rather than abstract.
Who it's for
This Pak works for worship-minded choral programs that want quality orchestral support for contemporary repertoire, as well as concert choirs programming sacred music with contemporary voices. Directors comfortable with both church and concert contexts will find this especially useful.
How to get the most out of it
- Approach the text with conviction. The theology here is direct and emotionally grounded; avoid rushing the phrases that establish the song's core message.
- Balance choir and orchestra carefully in rehearsal. Track the accompaniment separately to find where your singers need to project forward and where the instrumental writing can carry weight.
- Allow space for the congregation to absorb the harmonic shifts. This isn't a piece that needs constant forward momentum; moments of stillness strengthen the musical argument.
- Work with your orchestra on ensemble clarity around the vocal entries. The orchestral writing supports the choir most effectively when rhythmic precision is clean.
How to use it
Position this as a standalone feature in a concert of sacred music, or program it alongside hymnic arrangements to show how contemporary composition can honor traditional theological language. The four-minute duration makes it a natural centerpiece without requiring extended setup or narrative context.
Skills your students will build
- Singing contemporary melodic language with classical harmonic sophistication
- Responding to orchestral accompaniment with dynamic awareness
- Communicating text that balances theological depth with emotional directness
- Understanding how arrangement choices shape a song's concert vs. worship identity
