More about this title

Why we love this

Jackie Evancho's star power and the sophisticated pop sensibility of David Foster give this piece immediate appeal with singers and audiences alike. Jay Althouse's arrangement sits in a sweet spot between accessibility and genuine musicality, allowing less experienced choirs to sound polished while giving stronger ensembles room to add nuance.

What to expect

Warm, aspirational, and modern without feeling dated. The arrangement carries an intimate vulnerability that invites both emotional delivery and genuine vocal control, creating space for singers to connect with the text and each other.

Who it's for

This piece works for intermediate to advanced high school and adult choirs seeking contemporary pop repertoire with crossover appeal. It's ideal for ensembles that want to program something audiences will recognize while still requiring solid musicianship to execute well.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the song's intimate quality during verses; save the full ensemble sound for the big moments so the arrangement's dynamic arc lands.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment to lock into the precise tempo and phrasing early in rehearsal, then gradually reduce reliance on it as singers internalize the feel.
  • Balance the harmonic layers carefully, especially if your choir skews smaller; make sure inner voices aren't buried under melody and bass.
  • Pay attention to any key modulations or key-specific vowel shifts that might arise; mark these in rehearsal so everyone transitions together.

How to use it

Program this as a first-half closer or second-half opener on a concert featuring a mix of classical and contemporary pop; it bridges well between genres and refreshes audience energy. It's also strong for spring concerts, graduation ceremonies, or community showcases where you want to reach listeners unfamiliar with choral music.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing contemporary pop idiom with precision and musicality
  • Balancing blend and balance in modern harmonic textures
  • Interpreting dynamic and expressive markings in non-classical styles
  • Following a recorded accompaniment with rhythmic confidence
