About the Composer: Annette Oden
Annette Oden has established herself as a songwriter and composer whose work bridges contemporary faith and choral traditions. Her compositions reflect a gift for writing singable melodies that carry conviction without sacrificing musicality.
Why we love this
BJ Davis's arrangement transforms a straightforward message into something energetic and musically sophisticated. The orchestration lifts what could be a simple hymn into a concert piece that feels current and engaging for both singers and audiences.
What to expect
Energetic and affirmative. The up-tempo setting creates an almost celebratory mood, undercutting any sense of preachiness with genuine musical joy. You hear hope built into the melody itself.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking contemporary sacred repertoire that connects with modern congregations and concert audiences. This works especially well for groups that want to program faith-based music without relying on traditional hymn arrangements.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the tempo driving throughout. The upbeat character depends on forward momentum, so resist the urge to settle into a slower pace during sustained notes.
- Balance the choir and orchestra carefully in rehearsal. Since this is a digital download, you'll be working with a recorded accompaniment; spend time getting the blend right so neither overshadows the other.
- Let the text shape your phrasing. The message about possibility should land with confidence, so find places where the lyrics naturally suggest a slight lift or arrival point.
- Pay attention to how the arrangement supports key moments. Davis likely highlighted the strongest textual moments instrumentally, so use those cues to shape the overall arc.
How to use it
Pair this with other contemporary sacred works to create a portion of a concert that feels cohesive and current. It also works as a striking closer to a sacred concert, leaving audiences on an uplifting note.
