About the Arranger: Mark Brymer
Mark Brymer has built a reputation as an arranger who understands what makes music work in the choral rehearsal room. His arrangements balance accessibility with musical substance, giving singers material that feels both achievable and genuinely rewarding to perform.
Brymer's work spans Broadway, pop, and concert music, all written with an ear for vocal range, ensemble blend, and the pedagogical needs of student singers. His arrangements consistently appear on festival and contest repertoire lists because they engage both performers and audiences.
Why we love this
Brymer captures the theatrical energy of Broadway without overcomplicating the arrangement, giving your singers an emotionally substantive song that still fits comfortably in a mixed rehearsal schedule. The positive, aspirational message resonates with young performers, and the two beat feel keeps the groove accessible while maintaining real musical interest.
What to expect
An energetic, forward-moving piece that radiates hope without saccharine sentimentality. The two beat framework gives it a buoyant quality, while the thematic focus on personal agency and truth keeps the music grounded in something meaningful.
Who it's for
Choirs looking for concert or festival repertoire that connects with younger singers and audiences alike. This works particularly well for mixed ensembles seeking uplifting material with contemporary Broadway appeal that doesn't sacrifice musicianship.
How to get the most out of it
- Lean into the rhythmic drive of the two beat. The lightness comes from precision, not from rushing; keep the pulse steady and let the upbeats breathe.
- Shape the melodic line with genuine storytelling intent. This isn't a song to sleepwalk through; your singers should feel invested in the narrative arc from beginning to end.
- Balance the brightness of the text with musical maturity in phrasing. Avoid overselling the optimism; let the arrangement and melody do the emotional work.
How to use it
Program this early in a concert to set an optimistic, engaging tone. It works beautifully alongside other contemporary Broadway selections or as a palate cleanser between heavier concert repertoire, signaling to your audience that you're investing in music that matters to your singers.
