Lincoln Brewster is a contemporary Christian music artist and songwriter whose work bridges the gap between modern worship and concert choral writing. His compositions for choir reflect both the accessibility of contemporary idiom and the musical depth that singers and audiences expect from concert repertoire.
Why we love this
Brewster and co-lyricist Fieldes have created a piece that feels current without sacrificing harmonic substance. Arranger Richard Kingsmore's SATB setting sits beautifully in the voices, giving singers emotionally resonant material that audiences recognize while remaining genuinely rewarding to rehearse and perform.
What to expect
The piece carries the bright, affirmative energy of contemporary Christian music while grounded in four-part harmonic writing that feels intentional rather than simplistic. Singers will find themselves in a space where modern sensibility meets accessible vocal challenge.
Who it's for
Sacred choirs looking for contemporary material with genuine musical substance will find strong material here. This works equally well for church choir programs seeking concert repertoire and high school or college sacred ensembles wanting current-sounding writing.
How to get the most out of it
Balance the text clarity with the contemporary harmonic language. Consonants need crispness to land the modern feel without sacrificing the sustained phrases.
Let the arrangement's layering work for you. Individual voice parts often carry melodic fragments that should emerge clearly before settling into harmonic support.
Consider the recorded accompaniment as a reference for tempo and feel, but allow yourself space to breathe with your choir's natural phrasing.
How to use it
Pair this with a mix of traditional sacred repertoire to demonstrate the full range of your choir's versatility. The contemporary energy makes it particularly effective as a first or second piece in a concert, setting an accessible and engaging tone before moving into more complex harmonic territory.
