More about this title

About the Composer: Justin Hurwitz

Justin Hurwitz is a composer known for his work in film and television, with a particular gift for creating emotionally resonant scores that blend orchestral and contemporary styles. His music for La La Land earned widespread recognition and demonstrated his ability to craft memorable melodies that serve narrative moments while remaining musically substantial.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the vulnerability and hope at the heart of the film's closing moment. The choral setting amplifies the emotional weight without losing the intimacy of the original, making it a powerful closer for concert programs or a moving addition to contemporary choral repertoire.

What to expect

Bittersweet and hopeful, with delicate harmonies that gradually build emotional intensity. The arrangement honors the film's quiet magic while giving choral voices room to convey the character's inner strength and resilience.

Who it's for

Choirs with solid blend and dynamic control, comfortable with contemporary film music and expressive singing. This octavo works well for advanced high school choirs and college groups seeking meaningful concert programming.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the vocal lines carefully so the melody reads clearly while supporting harmonies provide warmth and depth.
  • Attend to the recorded accompaniment's tempo and style to ensure your choir locks into the arrangement's intended pacing.
  • Shape phrases with the dramatic arc of the song in mind; resist the urge to oversell sentiment in the quieter passages.

How to use it

Program this as a reflective moment in a concert, particularly in a set exploring contemporary film scores or musical theater. It pairs well with other songs about dreams and perseverance, or stands alone as a powerful encore piece.

Skills your students will build
