About the Composer: Greg Gilpin

Greg Gilpin

Greg Gilpin brings decades of choral artistry to his compositions and arrangements, earning ASCAP recognition for his contributions to the field. His conducting career has taken him across the globe, from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to the Sydney Opera House and Royal Festival Hall, establishing him as a musician of international stature.

Beyond the concert hall, Gilpin serves as Director of Educational Choral Publications for Shawnee Press, where he shapes resources for choral programs everywhere. His creative reach extends into film scoring, recording production, and even professional organizing, but his core identity remains rooted in advancing choral music education and performance.

Why we love this

Gilpin understands that accessibility and cultural connection matter equally in choral repertoire. This octavo builds genuine ensemble unity by celebrating multiple languages and greetings, giving your singers a reason to care beyond the notes on the page. The 3-part mixed voicing keeps the arrangement manageable while maintaining harmonic interest, making it realistic for programs with developing singers.

What to expect

Warm and inclusive, this piece carries the joy of connection across boundaries. Each new language greeting brings a fresh harmonic color, building momentum and shared celebration throughout the octavo.

Who it's for

Middle school and high school choirs seeking uplifting, accessible repertoire that doubles as cultural education. This piece also serves concert programs looking to expand beyond traditional English-language selections without overcomplicating the arranging demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Assign specific sections to research the cultural origin and pronunciation of each greeting before rehearsal begins; this transforms a musical piece into a cultural learning experience that deepens commitment.
  • Balance the ensemble texture by testing each language section separately to ensure clarity; singers often rush or blur unfamiliar vowels, so isolate these moments for precise articulation.
  • Record a practice track isolating the melody for each language section; many singers benefit from hearing exactly how their part sits within the harmonic structure before full ensemble rehearsal.

How to use it

Pair this with other world music selections to create a thematic concert exploring cultural expression through song, or open a spring concert with it to establish an optimistic, welcoming tone for the evening. It also works beautifully as a festival piece where multicultural representation strengthens your program's identity.
