More about this title

About the Composer: Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz

Alan Menken has shaped the sound of modern musical theater and film for four decades, beginning with his collaborations on Disney animated features that redefined the genre. His gift for melody and harmonic sophistication appears across The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Pocahontas, earning him multiple Academy Awards and a reputation as one of Broadway's most consistently inventive composers.

Stephen Schwartz brings lyrical clarity and emotional precision to every project he undertakes. From Godspell and Pippin to Wicked and Hadestown, his words serve the character and story first, creating singable lines that actors genuinely connect to. His partnership with Menken on Disney's theatrical adaptations combines Menken's rich orchestration with Schwartz's gift for finding the human truth in a moment.

Why we love this

This song captures the heart of the show without requiring elaborate staging or technical effects. The vocal line sits naturally for singers with solid legit technique, and the piano part provides genuine musical substance rather than just accompaniment, making it rewarding for both vocalist and pianist to rehearse together.

What to expect

A moment of spiritual quiet in the middle of a darker story. The music opens with a sense of peace and wonder, inviting the singer to find vulnerability and hope. Schwartz's lyric brings specificity to that feeling, while Menken's harmony deepens the emotional resonance without ever becoming sentimental.

Who it's for

Singers preparing auditions for theater programs, music theater ensemble members looking to expand their legit repertoire, and voice teachers seeking material that demands both technical skill and emotional maturity. High school and college vocalists benefit from the song's craftsmanship and the opportunity to work with professional musical theater writing at this level.

How to get the most out of it

  • Support the legit demands of the melody line with proper breath placement; this is a song that asks for real vocal weight and clarity, not a light approach.
  • Find the emotional arc across the six pages rather than treating each phrase independently. The song builds toward a moment of grace that requires sustained musical intention.
  • Balance the piano part carefully so it breathes alongside the voice; Menken's harmonies deserve attention, but they should never overshadow the lyrical content.

How to use it

Include this in an audition showcase focused on contemporary musical theater, or feature it in a concert pairing it with other Menken and Schwartz material to highlight their range. It works beautifully as a program closer when you want the audience to leave with reflection rather than spectacle.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining legit vocal production through longer phrases
  • Navigating the harmonic language of contemporary musical theater composition
  • Coordinating with an accompanist to balance voice and piano in a piece with substantial musical complexity
  • Finding emotional authenticity in a lyric that hinges on spiritual or transcendent moments
