About the Composer: Pepper Choplin

Pepper Choplin

Pepper Choplin studied music composition at two institutions: the University of North Carolina at Greensboro for his undergraduate work, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where he earned his master's degree. His catalog includes more than two hundred anthems and seven full choral musicals, spanning a career that has taken him from church music direction to theme park performance to conducting workshops across the country.

Choplin's creative process is rooted in the real needs of congregational worship. As Minister of Music at Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, many of his compositions emerge directly from the challenges and opportunities he encounters in leading his own church's musical life. His style blends inspiration with humor, drawing audiences into moments of genuine spiritual reflection. He has released several recordings, including the self-produced "Pepper Is My Real Name" and the solo album "Hold On," which showcase the range of his compositional voice.

Why we love this

Choplin writes with a keen understanding of what congregations actually sing and what moves them. The Choral Instrumental Pak format gives you flexibility in ensemble size and instrumental resources, making this work accessible whether you're directing a small chapel group or a full festival choir.

What to expect

The music carries both warmth and conviction, inviting listeners into a moment of spiritual connection. Choplin's melodic gift ensures the work remains singable and accessible while maintaining emotional depth and integrity.

Who it's for

Church music directors leading congregational worship, festival choirs looking for meaningful sacred repertoire, and music teachers seeking contemporary sacred works that speak to diverse audiences. This piece works equally well in concert settings and in active worship contexts.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the choir's text delivery with instrumental support; the accompaniment should enhance rather than overpower the message of the lyrics.
  • If ensemble size varies from rehearsal to performance, use the Pak's flexibility to adjust instrumental scoring to match your available players.
  • Attend to dynamic shape across phrases to keep the music alive; resist settling into a single volume throughout a section.

How to use it

Position this work as a centerpiece in a sacred choral concert, particularly when programming works that bridge traditional and contemporary idioms. It also serves beautifully as a closing anthem in a worship service where you want to send people out with a clear, uplifting message.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing with textual clarity while maintaining choral blend
  • Responding to instrumental accompaniment and ensemble balance
  • Sustaining emotional commitment through longer phrases
  • Interpreting contemporary sacred music with authenticity
