Why we love this
Sorenson crafts this arrangement with genuine liturgical intelligence, recognizing that pairing "Great I Am" with "Holy, Holy, Holy" creates theological resonance rather than mere musical addition. The dual ending structure and optional medley configuration give you genuine flexibility in how congregational participation shapes the moment, making this arrangement work across different worship contexts and service lengths.
What to expect
The music holds reverence without heaviness, moving between modern immediacy and the grounded weight of a beloved hymn. You feel the intentionality in every transition, and the architecture of the arrangement creates space for genuine spiritual participation rather than spectacle.
Who it's for
Worship leaders and choir directors seeking substantive arrangements that honor both contemporary praise and traditional hymnody. This works equally well for congregations expecting a seamless liturgical experience and for ensembles building skill in blending idioms.
How to get the most out of it
- Prepare your choir to lead the congregational hymn section with confidence; clarity in their part sets the foundation for participation from the pews.
- Balance the two ending options in rehearsal early so singers understand the dramatic difference between the intimate choir-only close and the fuller medley approach.
- Use the instrumental pak to explore how tempo relationships between the contemporary song and the traditional hymn can either highlight their connection or create intentional contrast.
How to use it
Place this during a service moment where theological depth serves your congregation's spiritual needs. The flexibility built into the arrangement makes it work as either a standalone anthem or as the centerpiece of a longer worship sequence, giving you programming options across the calendar year.
