More about this title

About the Artist: Keith and Kristyn Getty

Keith and Kristyn Getty are Northern Irish Christian music artists known for writing modern hymns and sacred songs that blend traditional hymn sensibilities with contemporary musical language. Their work has become central to worship services across denominations, and their compositions consistently emphasize singability, theological depth, and accessibility for congregational settings.

Why we love this

Angerman's arrangement takes a Getty composition designed for congregational singing and transforms it into a piece that works beautifully for choir without losing its essential warmth. The voicing feels natural to sing rather than contrived, and the harmonic language is sophisticated enough to reward careful rehearsal while remaining approachable for volunteer or school choirs.

What to expect

Contemplative and uplifting in equal measure. The harmonic movement feels expansive without being overwrought, and the melodic contours encourage singers to connect emotionally with the text while maintaining musical integrity.

Who it's for

This arrangement suits choirs with solid basic ensemble skills and at least two years of three or four-part singing experience. It works equally well in worship settings and concert programs, making it valuable for school, church, and community choirs seeking quality sacred repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the text clarity across all four parts. This arrangement prioritizes lyrical singing, so each voice line should carry its melodic phrase with intention rather than disappearing into harmonic support.
  • Shape phrases toward moments of harmonic stability. Angerman's voice leading creates gentle momentum; identify where the music naturally wants to breathe and let those moments land before moving forward.
  • Consider the dynamic arc across the full piece. Ten pages gives you room to build gradually rather than staying at a single dynamic level throughout.

How to use it

This fits naturally into a sacred or seasonal concert, and the text lends itself particularly well to evening services, worship experiences, or programs themed around reflection and wonder. Its ten-page length makes it substantive without dominating a program.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing sustained harmonic progressions with tonal awareness
  • Balancing choral blend while maintaining individual phrase direction
  • Interpreting text through dynamic and harmonic shape
  • Reading and executing arrangement-specific voice leading changes
