More about this title
About the Artist: Ben Rector
Ben Rector is an American singer-songwriter known for crafting pop songs with infectious melodies and uplifting messages. His work spans both secular and inspirational contexts, appealing to audiences who gravitate toward music that combines accessible songwriting with genuine emotional warmth.
Why we love this
Roger Emerson's arrangement captures the infectious optimism of the original without overcomplicating it, letting the melody and lyrics do the heavy lifting. The piece energizes any program while remaining accessible enough that singers at varying levels won't feel stretched beyond their abilities. You'll find your ensemble genuinely enjoying rehearsals because the music itself is genuinely fun.
What to expect
Bright and forward-moving, with the kind of melodic directness that invites listeners in immediately. The arrangement radiates positivity without veering into saccharine territory; instead, it feels like genuine celebration with contemporary pop sensibility throughout.
Who it's for
This works equally well for pop choirs, musical theater ensembles, and traditional choral programs looking to inject contemporary energy into a concert. Middle school through adult singers will find it approachable and rewarding to learn. It's particularly valuable for programs seeking inspirational repertoire that doesn't require advanced vocal technique or complex harmonic concepts.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the tempo steady and slightly lifted to maintain the exuberant quality; rushing will muddy the pop sensibility, but dragging kills the energy entirely.
- Blend the sung melody with instrumental accompaniment by treating the choir as part of the ensemble rather than singing over the band.
- Shape the dynamics throughout to follow the emotional arc of the lyrics; avoid singing at one volume from start to finish.
- Encourage singers to connect with the lyrical content so the happiness reads as genuine rather than manufactured.
How to use it
Place this as a closer or near-closer to send audiences out energized, or open a second half with it to shift the mood after a heavier opening section. It pairs naturally with other accessible pop arrangements and provides excellent balance alongside more traditional or classical repertoire in mixed programs.
