About the Composer: Douglas E. Wagner

Douglas E. Wagner

Douglas E. Wagner grew up in Chicago and earned degrees in music from Butler University before spending three decades as a high school music director and administrator. Since 1973, he has become one of the most prolific composers in American music education, with over 3,500 published works spanning choral literature, band, orchestra, handbells, organ, piano, and voice music.

Wagner's compositions have reached global audiences through concert performances, television broadcasts, and radio programs across the United States and internationally. More than seventeen million copies of his music are in circulation worldwide. He currently lives in Indianapolis with his wife, Sandy, and continues to focus on composition and music publishing.

Why we love this

Wagner writes for 2-part choirs with genuine musical substance rather than oversimplification. The flowing, singable melodic lines and clean voicing give your singers something worthy to perform, while the moderate difficulty keeps it accessible for middle school and emerging high school ensembles.

What to expect

The piece carries a warm, supportive quality that feels like a genuine benediction or well-wish rather than something ceremonial or distant. Beautiful melodic writing gives singers genuine musical satisfaction even within accessible ranges and straightforward part-writing.

Who it's for

This octavo serves middle school choirs, church choirs, and developing high school ensembles working at Grade 3 level. It works equally well for school concerts, worship services, and community performances where a meaningful closing moment is needed.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the two parts so neither overwhelms; the interweaving lines work best when both voices carry equal weight and clarity.
  • Allow the piece to breathe at phrase endings rather than rushing through them; the blessing text deserves space and reverence.
  • Rehearse the parts separately first to establish secure intonation before blending, especially across section transitions.

How to use it

Save this for your concert finale, graduation ceremony, or any service of worship where you want to leave your audience with something uplifting and sincere. It also works beautifully as a year-end blessing to close a choral concert or spring concert.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing independent melodic lines in a 2-part texture
  • Sustaining flowing phrases with proper breath placement
  • Balancing and blending voices to create unified sound
  • Interpreting text with reverence and care
