More about this title

About the Artist: Rascal Flatts

Rascal Flatts emerged from the country music scene in the early 2000s to become one of the genre's most commercially successful acts. Their signature three-part harmonies and accessible songwriting made them fixtures on both country radio and the pop charts, with hits spanning nearly two decades. The band's ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies has made their catalog particularly appealing for choral adaptation.

Why we love this

Ed Lojeski's arrangement captures the warmth and sincerity of the original while giving SSA choirs a vehicle for genuine emotional expression. The piece sits comfortably for developing singers yet delivers the kind of contemporary repertoire that resonates with students and audiences alike. Programming this shows your ensemble's range beyond traditional choral fare without sacrificing musical substance.

What to expect

Warm and sincere, with the kind of accessible melody that stays with singers long after rehearsal ends. The arrangement unfolds with gentle confidence, inviting the choir to inhabit the emotional landscape rather than overselling it.

Who it's for

SSA choirs at the secondary or early collegiate level looking for contemporary material that engages students without oversimplifying the musical content. This works equally well for show choirs wanting a genuine ballad or concert choirs seeking repertoire that connects with modern audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the three parts so no single line dominates; the appeal lies in how the voices blend together rather than any individual melody standing out.
  • Find the conversational quality in the text and let natural phrasing guide your tempo choices rather than pushing mechanically through the score.
  • Pay attention to the harmonic shifts that create emotional peaks; these moments deserve slight dynamic emphasis to land their full impact.
  • Consider the dynamics in context of the arrangement's arc; restraint in earlier sections makes the fuller moments feel genuinely earned rather than forced.

How to use it

Pair this with other contemporary arrangements to build a concert section that speaks to today's singers and listeners. The piece's moderate length and emotional directness make it an excellent anchor for a themed program about wishes, dreams, or meaningful moments. It also bridges nicely between more traditional repertoire and pop arrangements in a mixed concert.

Skills your students will build

  • Blending three-part harmony with equal voice weight
  • Sustaining legit tone in contemporary idioms
  • Phrasing through emotional content rather than purely structural divisions
  • Dynamic control that serves storytelling over surface effect
