More about this title

About the Composer: Joe Iconis

Joe Iconis is a composer and lyricist known for his work in musical theater and television. He gained widespread recognition through his contributions to NBC's "Smash," where his compositions captured the energy and ambition of the Broadway world. His music blends contemporary pop sensibilities with theatrical storytelling, making his work accessible to performers across various skill levels.

Why we love this

This piece delivers authentic Broadway energy without requiring a full pit orchestra or elaborate staging. The arrangement by Lisa DeSpain captures the original's infectious drive while sitting comfortably in the SSA range, giving choirs of all levels access to a song that genuinely excites singers and audiences alike.

What to expect

The music pulses with unstoppable momentum, capturing that electrifying moment when ambition crystallizes into determination. Bright harmonies and rhythmic precision create a sense of forward motion, making every singer feel like they're part of something big and urgent.

Who it's for

This octavo works for SSA choirs and mixed ensembles performing the SSAA version, from strong middle school groups through community and college choirs. The contemporary pop-theater style appeals to singers who connect with musical theater repertoire and audiences who enjoy upbeat, motivational concert programming.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the rhythmic pulse propulsive throughout. The underlying drive mentioned in the lyric must translate into your tempo and the ensemble's articulation.
  • Shape the phrase "I'll pull myself together, I'm focused on the prize" with building intensity, allowing the emotional stakes to rise toward the declaration.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock in the groove, especially in the rhythmically complex sections, then gradually reduce reliance on it during rehearsals to build ensemble confidence.
  • Balance the melodic line clearly against the harmonic foundation so the motivational message of the text lands with impact.

How to use it

Program this as an opener or closing number for a concert centered on musical theater, contemporary pop, or motivational themes. It also works beautifully in a cabaret-style show or as the centerpiece of a "Broadway Dreams" themed concert with other show music.

Skills your students will build

  • Rhythmic precision in syncopated, pop-influenced meters
  • Ensemble blend in block harmonic writing
  • Expressive interpretation of contemporary musical theater style
  • Breath control and phrasing in faster-moving passages
  • Confidence performing with recorded accompaniment
