About the Artist: Will Rapp
Will Rapp is a librettist and lyricist whose work on "The Greatest Showman" brought contemporary theatrical storytelling to millions of viewers. His ability to craft emotionally resonant moments through text and song has made him a significant voice in modern musical theater, particularly in creating pieces that resonate across diverse audiences.
Rapp's contributions to film and stage musicals have introduced young musicians to high-quality contemporary material. His work balances accessibility with genuine theatrical depth, making it valuable repertoire for music educators seeking pieces that engage both students and audiences.
Why we love this
Paul Murtha's arrangement captures the emotional arc of both songs while keeping the marching band writing clean and playable at the 3-4 level. The pairing of "Never Enough" and "From Now On" creates a natural dramatic progression that works beautifully as a finale, and contemporary film music like this energizes audiences who might not typically engage with traditional marching arts repertoire.
What to expect
"Never Enough" enters with yearning and vulnerability; it's the moment of human desire and ambition laid bare. The transition into "From Now On" shifts the emotional weight toward acceptance and forward motion, building into something celebratory and triumphant that feels earned rather than forced.
Who it's for
Marching bands at the 3-4 grade level looking for contemporary music that excites both performers and spectators. This works especially well for programs that want to blend recognizable material with substantial musical content, or for directors building a finale that feels both polished and accessible.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the melodic lines between sections during "Never Enough" so the piece doesn't feel one-dimensional; the shift from lower voices carrying the theme to upper voices taking over should feel like a natural musical conversation.
- Build the energy gradually through "From Now On" rather than pushing immediately; let the march section establish its character before the full band reaches full volume.
- Use the key change between the two songs as a moment to reset the ensemble's focus and check intonation, since it marks a significant emotional shift in the arrangement.
How to use it
Program this as your closing number to send the audience out energized and satisfied. The two-song structure gives you flexibility to build a complete emotional arc in a single feature, and the contemporary idiom makes it an ideal bridge between your traditional repertoire and pieces that connect with modern listeners.
