About the Arranger: Tim Sarsany

Tim Sarsany

Tim Sarsany brings extensive experience in choral writing across sacred and secular contexts, working with ensembles ranging from high school groups to professional choirs. His arrangements and original compositions reflect deep understanding of vocal writing and varied instrumental textures, from intimate a cappella settings to large orchestral forces.

Currently serving as Director of Choral Activities at Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio, Sarsany holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in conducting from The Ohio State University along with advanced degrees in choral conducting and music composition. His work continues to be commissioned by institutions nationwide.

Why we love this

Sarsany's arrangement of this Broadway material respects the emotional core of the original while crafting vocal lines that sit naturally for mixed ensembles. The divisi writing allows for lush harmonic color without sacrificing accessibility, making this a genuinely singable choice for choirs seeking contemporary inspirational repertoire with theatrical flair.

What to expect

Warm and affirming, the arrangement wraps the listener in layered vocal harmony that feels both modern and timeless. There's an inherent generosity in the writing that encourages singers to invest emotionally while the parts accommodate different skill levels within the section.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced mixed choirs seeking Broadway material with genuine substance. This works equally well for secular concerts, community events, or any program wanting accessible yet musically satisfying contemporary repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the divisi sections carefully; the additional voice parts should enhance texture rather than muddy the primary melodic line
  • Pay attention to how the arrangement handles Broadway's rhythmic flexibility; this isn't classical restraint, so allow for natural phrasing that honors the emotional shape
  • Invest time in the text delivery since inspirational material lives or dies by authentic connection to the lyrics

How to use it

This lands naturally alongside other contemporary inspirational works or as a bridge between classical and musical theater repertoire in a mixed concert. Its 15 pages suggest a substantial centerpiece rather than filler, making it worthy programming weight for spring or end-of-year performances where emotional resonance matters as much as technical display.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing divisi voice parts with independent melodic awareness
  • Shaping Broadway-influenced phrasing within harmonic contexts
  • Balancing part interdependence with textural clarity
  • Emotional commitment to contemporary inspirational material
