More about this title
Why we love this
Smith's orchestration honors the spiritual essence of this beloved contemporary hymn while giving it orchestral weight that feels earned rather than overdone. The pairing with "Worthy" creates a natural arc that lets you build genuine emotional momentum across a five-minute segment, turning what could be a standalone moment into a complete worship statement.
What to expect
Intimate yet expansive. The arrangement opens space for reflection while the orchestration gradually builds a sense of celebration and affirmation. There's a contemplative quality here that honors the song's roots without making it feel reverent to the point of stillness.
Who it's for
Choirs working with orchestra or large ensemble settings who want to include contemporary worship music with symphonic depth. This works equally well in concert settings and sacred services where you're building a longer musical statement.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal line against the orchestral texture; this arrangement asks the ensemble to share the emotional spotlight rather than simply accompany.
- Shape the transition between "Awesome In This Place" and "Worthy" deliberately. Treat it as a moment of preparation, not a quick reset.
- Let the dynamics breathe in the softer sections. Restraint here makes the powerful moments land harder.
How to use it
Consider this as the centerpiece of a worship-focused concert segment, or use it to bridge between a more traditional sacred work and contemporary repertoire. The total duration makes it substantial enough to anchor a program section without consuming an entire half.
Skills your students will build
- Balancing vocal and instrumental textures in contemporary sacred music
