More about this title

About the Arranger: Travis Cottrell

Travis Cottrell has built a reputation as a versatile arranger and composer within Christian music, with particular strength in creating accessible yet musically substantial arrangements for congregational and choir settings. His work emphasizes clarity of melody and harmonic support that allows both skilled musicians and volunteer singers to find their footing within the same score.

Why we love this

Cottrell's layering of Getty and Townend's modern hymn text with the 19th century melodic anchor of "The Solid Rock" creates genuine theological and musical depth without requiring soloists or elaborate staging. The flexible orchestration lets you deploy this with a full ensemble or pare it down to essentials, and the accompaniment tracks free your rehearsal time for actual musicianship rather than piano technique.

What to expect

Grounded and affirming. The arrangement moves between moments of sturdy, hymn-like certainty and passages where the modern melody floats atop a warm harmonic cushion, creating an experience that feels both reflective and resolute across its five and a half minutes.

Who it's for

Choirs preparing Easter services, festival programming, or special Sunday offerings will find this especially useful. It works equally well for congregational participation and for showcasing your ensemble's ability to blend traditional and contemporary musical language.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the opening statement of "The Solid Rock" melody to sit forward in the texture; it anchors listeners before the modern hymn melody emerges.
  • Track the key relationship between sections carefully in rehearsal, especially if using the accompaniment tracks, so the choir doesn't drift during transitions.
  • Let the string parts (or synth equivalent) breathe on their sustained notes rather than pushing for volume; the arrangement gains resonance through air and space.
  • Assign one strong voice per instrumental part in your cello/bass line if doubling with strings, since the harmonic foundation supports the entire arrangement.

How to use it

This pairs naturally with other Easter or faith-centered repertoire, offering a bridge between traditional hymnal material and contemporary worship styles. Consider opening a concert section with this piece to establish both musical credibility and spiritual intention, or use it as a centerpiece that allows your full instrumentation to be heard without overwhelming a smaller choir.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing over sustained harmonic backgrounds without losing pitch center
  • Balancing choir blend with flexible instrumental textures
  • Executing clean section transitions between contrasting melodic material
  • Responding to accompaniment tracks with ensemble precision
  • Interpreting the relationship between traditional hymn language and modern songwriting
