About the Composer: Lynn DeShazo
Lynn DeShazo has established herself as a respected voice in contemporary Christian music and choral composition. Her work emphasizes accessible yet meaningful arrangements that resonate with singers and audiences alike, making her compositions staples in church and concert settings.
Why we love this
Smith's orchestration elevates DeShazo's devotional song into something singers will genuinely want to rehearse. The accompaniment gives your ensemble room to breathe while supporting the text's emotional weight, and the SATB voicing sits naturally for mixed choirs of varying experience levels.
What to expect
The arrangement creates an atmosphere of sincere reflection and quiet strength. The interplay between choir and orchestra invites listeners into a moment of genuine prayer rather than spectacle.
Who it's for
This works for choirs seeking repertoire that speaks to devotion without requiring advanced technical demands. Church choirs, community ensembles, and school programs looking for concert literature with spiritual depth will find this accessible and rewarding.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the voice parts so the text remains clear; the prayer's power lives in the words, not in any single melodic line.
- Let the orchestra accompany rather than dominate. The instrumental parts should support the choir's phrasing and dynamics.
- Shape phrases around the harmonic movement. Notice where Smith's arrangement shifts texture and allow those moments to create direction.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with other contemporary sacred works to build a thematic concert around faith and dedication. It also stands alone beautifully as a closing piece that leaves audiences in contemplative silence.
Skills your students will build
