More about this title

About the Artist: Lebo M

Lebo M is a South African composer and vocalist whose work bridges film scoring, world music, and contemporary sacred traditions. His collaboration with Mark Mancina on The Lion King II soundtrack brought authentic African vocal textures and spiritual depth to Disney's sequel, establishing him as a distinctive voice in film music composition.

Why we love this

Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the transcendent quality of the original while making it accessible for high school and community choirs. The piece trades theatrical spectacle for genuine emotional weight, giving singers a moment of introspection rather than flash. The SATB texture honors the song's spiritual core without oversimplifying its harmonic sophistication.

What to expect

Serene and grounded, with an underlying current of affirmation. The harmony carries a warmth that feels both timeless and intimate, inviting listeners into quiet reflection rather than celebration.

Who it's for

High school and community choirs seeking repertoire with genuine depth and cultural significance. Directors programming concerts around themes of legacy, resilience, or spiritual reflection will find this piece speaks authentically to those ideas without sentimentality.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lean into the contemplative opening; resist the urge to push volume early. The power of this piece emerges through clarity and restraint.
  • Treat the text painting carefully, particularly around words like 'lives' and 'heart.' Each phrase carries theological weight that should shape your phrasing.
  • Balance the soloists (if scored) with the ensemble so neither dominates. The arrangement likely intends moments of vulnerability from the full choir.

How to use it

Feature this during the second half of a concert as a tonal and emotional shift from faster or lighter material. It pairs well with other spirituals or world music selections and provides an effective bridge between contrasting sections of a longer program.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining legit vocal tone across extended phrases
  • Blending four-part harmony with dynamic restraint
  • Interpreting text with emotional specificity rather than surface-level expression
  • Navigating the harmonic language of contemporary film scoring
