More about this title
About the Arranger: Heather Sorenson
Heather Sorenson brings an uncommon versatility to composition and arrangement, moving fluidly between traditional and contemporary sacred music while making both feel entirely her own. Based in Dallas, her works span churches, universities, concert halls, and competition stages worldwide, with recent commissions ranging from Texas A&M to Carnegie Hall's premiere of her oratorio EXODUS.
Beyond the page, Sorenson has shaped music education as an elementary music teacher, adjunct professor at Baylor University, and master class instructor in piano and songwriting. She regularly conducts workshops at worship conferences and universities across the country, and dedicates her time away from composition to guest conducting and benefit concerts supporting nonprofit organizations.
Why we love this
Sorenson's touch transforms a beloved hymn into something that feels both timeless and urgent. The orchestral writing sits comfortably across a full ensemble while maintaining the dignity of the original melody, giving you a piece that works equally well for a seasonal service, a community concert, or a concert celebrating your choir's heritage.
What to expect
Stately and soaring, with the hymn melody lifted higher and given room to breathe across full orchestration. The piece conveys both reverence for what has passed and celebration of enduring faith, creating an atmosphere of quiet grandeur.
Who it's for
Directors seeking a substantial choral work with orchestral accompaniment for services, concerts, or special observances centered on faith and remembrance. This arrangement serves ensembles with access to an orchestra or those working with recorded accompaniment.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal lines against the orchestral accompaniment by asking singers to feel the pulse through the instrumental texture rather than fighting against it.
- Shape the melodic phrases with long, legible breath marks so the text lands with clarity and reverence.
- Allow your rhythm section to breathe slightly on sustained chords; this creates space for the choir's legit impact without muddying the arrangement.
- Mark your dynamic arc early in rehearsal so everyone understands the shape of the entire piece before sectional details.
How to use it
Reserve this for a program moment where you want the full weight of your choir and orchestra on stage together. It fits naturally into All Saints Day observances, memorial services, or the concluding pieces of a concert themed around legacy and continuity.
