More about this title

Why we love this

Herrington crafts accessible two-part writing without sacrificing musicality or emotional depth. The title itself promises something lyrical and soaring, and the piece delivers on that promise with writing that sits naturally for young voices while maintaining artistic integrity.

What to expect

The piece carries an uplifting quality suggested by its title. The melodic contours feel natural and expansive, inviting singers to discover their own expressiveness within straightforward harmonic language.

Who it's for

Middle school and early high school choirs seeking repertoire that's genuinely singable yet musically rewarding. Directors building mixed or changed-voice ensembles will find this accessible without feeling juvenile.

How to get the most out of it

  • Honor the legit through sustained phrases; resist the urge to chop up longer lines into smaller breaths.
  • Balance the two parts so neither dominates; this is dialogue, not solo and accompaniment.
  • Explore what 'wings' means physically in terms of lift and lightness in the tone.

How to use it

This works well as a shorter concert piece that demonstrates choir growth without demanding advanced technique. Consider pairing it with other contemporary two-part works to build a thematic set.

Skills your students will build

  • Two-part harmonic balance and blend
  • Legit line singing across phrase boundaries
  • Musical interpretation within accessible vocal ranges
  • Intonation accuracy in sustained, connected passages
