More about this title
Why we love this
Larosa's orchestration captures the emotional arc of the song while keeping the energy kinetic enough to hold a young audience. The inclusion of drum set and percussion parts alongside traditional strings gives you flexibility in instrumentation without sacrificing the arrangement's integrity, and the dynamic range lets each section shine.
What to expect
An empowering surge of orchestral sound built on themes of determination and hope. The arrangement balances accessible, singable melodies with energetic rhythmic figures that propel the music forward, creating an atmosphere that feels both contemporary and orchestrally satisfying.
Who it's for
String orchestras at the intermediate level (grades 3 to 4) looking to add contemporary film repertoire with real emotional resonance. Directors seeking music that appeals to student performers and audiences alike, especially for concerts featuring younger ensembles or family-friendly programming.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the melody line with long, connected phrases rather than treating each measure as separate. The "beyond" motif gains power from sustained musicality across the arc.
- Balance the rhythmic accompaniment figures (particularly in the lower strings and percussion) so they propel without overwhelming the vocalist or featured melodic line.
- Explore the full dynamic spectrum: the quiet, reflective moments are just as important as the climactic sections for emotional storytelling.
- Lock articulations across all sections during rhythmically driven passages. Consistency in tonguing and bowing attack keeps the ensemble cohesive when the tempo feels driving.
How to use it
Position this as a centerpiece for a family or pop music themed concert, or pair it with other film selections to create a cinematic arc. It also serves well as a confidence builder mid-rehearsal season, offering students a piece that combines musical substance with the reward of playing music they recognize.
Skills your students will build

- Coordinating rhythmic precision across multiple percussion and accompaniment parts
- Navigating dynamic contrast from soft, lyrical playing to full orchestral sound
