About the Composer: Heather Sorenson

Heather Sorenson

Heather Sorenson has built an international reputation as a composer, arranger, and orchestrator whose music appears regularly in churches, schools, universities, and competition festivals across the country. Based in Dallas, Texas, she moves fluidly between traditional and contemporary idioms in sacred music, creating a distinctive voice that blends both approaches into something entirely her own.

Beyond her prolific compositional output, Sorenson brings deep teaching experience to her work. She has taught elementary music at Grace Academy of Dallas, served as an adjunct professor at Baylor University, and led master classes in piano and songwriting. Her recent commissions span institutions from Texas A&M University to Carnegie Hall, where her oratorio EXODUS premiered, and she maintains an active schedule as a guest conductor and lecturer at worship conferences and universities nationwide.

Why we love this

Sorenson's setting anchors itself in text that invokes protection and spiritual guidance, giving your singers something genuine to convey. The SATB writing sits comfortably within accessible ranges while still offering enough harmonic and textural interest to keep rehearsals engaging through performance.

What to expect

The music unfolds with quiet conviction, inviting listeners into a moment of personal prayer and supplication. There is directness in Sorenson's harmonic language here; nothing overwrought, just clear voices supporting a text that asks for divine guidance and care.

Who it's for

Any SATB choir seeking repertoire with spiritual depth and approachable technical demands. This works equally well for church music programs, school choruses preparing sacred selections, and ensembles wanting a shorter, meaningful addition to a concert program.

How to get the most out of it

  • Establish a calm, centered tone from the opening measures. The spiritual character of the text requires singers to listen inward and connect to the prayer inherent in the lyric.
  • Balance the voice parts so that when phrases overlap, each line remains audible rather than blended into a single mass of sound. This clarity lets the text shine through.
  • Pay attention to the pacing of text delivery. Sorenson's setting respects the weight of the words; avoid rushing through sections that deserve reflection and space.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary sacred settings for a concert that honors both textual and musical substance. At twelve pages, it functions beautifully as a standalone devotional piece in a service or as part of a longer evening of choral music focused on themes of faith and trust.

Skills your students will build
