About the Arranger: Jeff Funk

Jeff Funk

Jeff Funk launched his publishing career at eighteen with "Fly to the Sky Tonight" and has since become a prolific voice in choral music, with over 1.7 million copies of his works in circulation. He earned his degree summa cum laude from Millikin University in 1993 and composed the opening number for NBC's 2000 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast. Beyond choral composition, Funk has ventured into fiction writing and editorial work, bringing a multidisciplinary creative perspective to his arrangements.

Based in Auburn, Indiana, Funk continues to develop choral literature that speaks to contemporary audiences while honoring the emotional resonance of well-loved popular songs.

Why we love this

Funk's arrangement captures the warmth and accessibility of a song that already resonates with audiences across generations, making it an excellent choice for concerts centered on themes of unity and compassion. The eight-page setting balances singability with musical substance, allowing your singers to deliver a meaningful message without drowning in complexity. Recorded accompaniment support means you can prepare this confidently even with limited rehearsal time.

What to expect

Warm and earnest, this arrangement wraps a timeless sentiment in SATB harmony that feels both familiar and freshly arranged. The music invites listeners into moments of genuine connection, creating an atmosphere of hope without veering into saccharine territory.

Who it's for

Choirs seeking repertoire with immediate emotional appeal and a positive, inclusive message will find this arrangement ideal for concert programming or community-building events. It works equally well for high school choirs developing their pop choral technique and for adult or church choirs wanting accessible four-part harmony that audiences already know and love.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melodic phrases with gentle crests rather than driving hard; this song's power comes from earnestness, not intensity.
  • Balance the four voices carefully in slower passages so that inner parts remain audible without overwhelming the sopranos.
  • Emphasize clear diction on the key lyrical moments about love and peace so the message lands with your audience.
  • Use the recorded accompaniment as a rehearsal tool early on to lock ensemble rhythm and tuning, then pull back gradually to build confidence in live performance.

How to use it

Program this as a centerpiece for a concert themed around peace, kindness, or social responsibility; its legacy reaches from the 1960s forward, making it a natural bridge between generations in a mixed-age audience. It also serves beautifully as a finale or closer when you want to send the audience out with an uplifting, unifying message.

Skills your students will build

  • Singing sustained, consonant-free vowels in four-part harmony
  • Balancing dynamic control so that all voice parts remain integrated and audible
  • Interpreting text with emotional authenticity in a secular context
  • Responding to and coordinating with recorded accompaniment
