More about this title

About the Composer: Diane Warren

Diane Warren is one of the most prolific songwriters in contemporary music, with a career spanning four decades of hit songs across pop, rock, and film. Her work has earned multiple Grammy nominations and Academy Award recognition, establishing her as a master of crafting emotionally resonant melodies that connect with broad audiences. In the choral world, her compositions bring the sophistication and emotional directness of professional songwriting to ensemble singers at all levels.

Why we love this

Warren's gift for writing a hook that sticks with audiences translates beautifully to the choral setting, and "Found" carries genuine emotional weight without requiring advanced vocal technique. The arrangement by Andy Beck respects the song's pop sensibility while giving choirs room to make it their own, whether sung at full strength or with soloists featured. This is the kind of graduation song that feels current and meaningful rather than ceremonial.

What to expect

This is a song about recognition and belonging, and the music reflects that warmth. The melodic writing feels both intimate and expansive, with a pop sensibility that grounds it in something familiar while the harmonic movement keeps it emotionally alive and present.

Who it's for

Choirs of intermediate ability and above will find this accessible without feeling simplistic. It works equally well for high school show choirs, mixed adult ensembles, and advanced middle school groups looking for contemporary repertoire with real substance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the conversational quality of the lyrics during the verses; this song works best when singers sound like they're telling a story rather than performing it.
  • Balance blend in the choir sections with clear articulation on repeated rhythmic figures, especially in passages where the melodic interest shifts between voice parts.
  • If using the recorded accompaniment, rehearse without it first to establish confident vocal independence, then layer it in to deepen the arrangement's texture.
  • Shape the emotional arc across the entire piece rather than treating verses and chorus as separate musical moments; this song builds toward a moment of realization.

How to use it

Program this for graduation, spring concert, or any concert where you want to acknowledge growth and transition with a song that speaks directly to young singers. It pairs naturally with other contemporary pop selections or stands effectively as a moment of reflection in a more traditional concert order.
