More about this title
About the Composer: Joseph M. Martin
Joseph M. Martin studied piano performance at Furman University and earned his master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin, where he later taught in the Piano Pedagogy Department. His career spans both performance and composition; he has given solo recitals across the United States and Mexico, performed with major symphony orchestras including the Guadalajara Symphony, and won the Nina Plant Wideman Competition. His work reaches audiences in concert halls like Carnegie Hall, regional theaters, and most importantly in worship spaces and church music conferences throughout North America.
Martin's output as a composer and arranger reflects the breadth of his musical training and his commitment to church music. His compositions appear in settings ranging from the concert stage to parish sanctuaries, and they consistently demonstrate his gift for making sacred texts resonant and accessible. He continues to live in Austin, Texas, where he balances his performance schedule with ongoing creative work.
Why we love this
The concentrated timeframe makes this work exceptionally powerful in performance. Rather than unfold across many minutes, Martin and Angerman deliver their affirmation with urgency and clarity, which actually heightens the impact of the text. Adding orchestration transforms what could be a simple choral piece into a full musical statement that will resonate with singers and listeners alike.
What to expect
The music conveys quiet determination building into bold affirmation. There's a sense of personal conviction growing steadily stronger, supported by orchestration that elevates the choir's testimony into something larger than any individual voice.
Who it's for
This work suits any choir looking for a substantial piece that doesn't demand extended rehearsal time. Directors seeking to program something theologically direct and musically engaging for a concert or worship setting will find this valuable.
How to get the most out of it
- Build intensity from the opening rather than starting at full volume; let the orchestration gradually support the choir's growing conviction.
- Shape the text as a proclamation rather than a gentle reflection; the confidence in the message deserves rhythmic clarity and direct articulation.
- Balance the optional orchestral part as a partner to the choir, not a replacement; both elements should remain audible and distinct.
How to use it
Place this as an anchor in a service of worship or concert program where you want to make a clear theological statement without overwhelming the surrounding repertoire. Its brevity allows it to function effectively as either a standalone moment or paired with complementary pieces that explore faith and confidence.
