About the Composer: Bob Kauflin
Bob Kauflin has shaped contemporary worship music as a songwriter, worship leader, and theological voice for a generation of evangelical congregations. His compositions balance singable melodies with substantive lyrics that reflect Christian doctrine, making them accessible to congregations while maintaining artistic integrity.
Why we love this
Marty Hamby's orchestration brings genuine grandeur to this declaration of praise without resorting to bombast. The arrangement respects the text while offering your ensemble something vocally rewarding and spiritually substantive to sink their teeth into.
What to expect
Grand and confident without pretension. There's an earnestness here, a straightforward declaration that invites your singers and audience into genuine reverence. The orchestration sparkles and swells, creating space for the voices to shine without ever feeling thin or undernourished.
Who it's for
This works beautifully for church choirs, concert ensembles, and festival performances where you need a proclamatory, well-crafted piece with orchestral accompaniment. It suits singers with moderate to strong experience who can handle both the vocal demands and the interpretive nuance the text deserves.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choir sound with the orchestral parts; the accompaniment should support rather than overshadow the vocal lines, especially in the opening sections where the text needs clarity.
- Pay attention to the dynamic arc across the full 3:50 runtime. Plan where your biggest climaxes land and shape the buildup intentionally rather than pushing hard from the start.
- Lean into the majesty implied by the text. This isn't a intimate moment; your singers should feel the scale of what they're expressing through their vocal placement and phrasing.
- Use sectional rehearsals with the orchestral recording to lock ensemble articulation, particularly if you have tempo or rhythmic complexity at transition points.
How to use it
Consider this as an opening number for a sacred concert or the anchor of a worship-themed program. At just under four minutes, it commands attention without dominating a set and pairs well alongside other contemporary or traditional sacred works depending on your programming direction.
