More about this title

About the Artist: Keith Kristyn Getty

Keith Kristyn Getty is a Northern Irish Christian music artist and songwriter who has become one of the most performed modern hymn writers in churches worldwide. His compositions blend contemporary sensibilities with the harmonic richness and singability of traditional hymnody, making his work accessible to both concert choirs and congregational settings.

Why we love this

Getty's gift for writing memorable melodies paired with theologically substantive texts gives your singers material that feels both singable and meaningful. This collection spans arrangements that work equally well in a concert setting or as part of a service program, offering flexibility without sacrificing musical integrity.

What to expect

These arrangements carry warmth and approachability without being simplistic. The melodies lodge in the ear immediately, yet the harmonic language and textural choices keep the music engaging for both singers and listeners across repeated hearings.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking contemporary Christian repertoire that doesn't require a full four-part voicing or large ensemble will find this collection practical and rewarding. This works for church choirs, community choirs, and concert programs wanting to include spiritually rooted material without relegating it to a separate 'sacred music' category.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the SAB voicing so the alto line doesn't disappear; these parts carry important harmonic color and deserve attention in rehearsal.
  • Let the text shape your phrasing rather than forcing uniform phrase lengths; Getty's melodies often follow speech patterns rather than square four-bar phrases.
  • Explore the dynamic range across the collection; some arrangements call for restraint and intimacy while others build to fuller textures, and these contrasts will deepen the overall program.

How to use it

Consider programming selections from this collection as a unified thematic block in a concert that explores faith and reflection, or weave individual arrangements throughout a program to create moments of grounded sincerity between more ambitious works. The 87-page scope gives you enough material to build a substantial program or supplement multiple events over a season.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing in three-part SAB voicing with clear part independence
  • Sustaining longer melodic phrases with consistent tone and breath control
  • Interpreting text with emotional authenticity and spiritual sincerity
  • Balancing contemporary melodic writing with harmonic awareness
