More about this title
About the Composer: Glenn Packiam
Glenn Packiam is a composer and worship leader whose work bridges contemporary spirituality and accessible choral writing. His compositions have found their way into churches and concert halls alike, often combining lyrical melodic lines with straightforward harmonic language that doesn't sacrifice depth for simplicity.
Why we love this
Harold Ross's orchestration transforms this into a full ensemble experience without requiring a pit band. The arrangement respects the emotional core of the text while giving you legitimate instrumental color that will move an audience in a concert setting.
What to expect
Honest and redemptive without being saccharine. The orchestration creates space for introspection while the choral writing feels immediate and direct, inviting listeners into a moment of genuine emotional openness.
Who it's for
Concert choirs and sacred music programs looking for contemporary repertoire with spiritual substance. This works equally well for community choirs, church groups, or educational ensembles seeking material that connects with modern audiences.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choir's dynamics against the orchestra part; this isn't a background accompaniment but a conversation between voices and instruments.
- Pay attention to the text painting opportunities in the lyrics. The word 'grace' and 'healing' deserve distinct musical attention in your shaping.
- Let the accompaniment breathe during the choral phrases. Resist the urge to fill every moment with orchestral density.
How to use it
Program this as the centerpiece of a sacred concert, or pair it with other contemporary spirituals for a thematic set. At nearly four minutes, it anchors a program without dominating it and provides a natural emotional focal point for your audience.
Skills your students will build
- Balancing choral tone with orchestral accompaniment
- Interpreting contemporary sacred text with emotional authenticity
- Sustaining longer phrases with consistent vocal quality
