About the Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht has shaped American choral music for over three decades as a composer, conductor, and clinician with particular expertise in integrating movement into choral performance. Since 1987, she has been an annual recipient of the ASCAP Special Music Award and maintains more than 600 published choral works alongside 75 songbooks and musicals. Her conducting has taken her to honor choir festivals at prestigious venues including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and The Kennedy Center, and she served for over 30 years as Director of School Choral, Vocal, and Elementary Publications at major educational music publishers, most recently at Alfred Music.

Albrecht earned a B.A. in Music and Theater from Rollins College (1976) and continued her studies at the University of Miami, where she completed an M.A. in Drama (1977) and an M.M. in Accompanying (1979). She has taught in university music departments at Oakland University, Jersey City State College, and Meredith College. A Cleveland native, she has received the Distinguished Alumna Award from both the University of Miami Frost School of Music and Rollins College, where she serves on the Board of Trustees. She also chaired the Board of Trustees for the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society and received their "Pillar of Leadership" award.

Why we love this

Albrecht and Althouse craft melodies that lodge in singers' memories while delivering a text with genuine emotional weight. The included violin obbligato elevates the arrangement beyond typical octavo accompaniment and creates natural opportunities for movement and staging, making this work as engaging to perform as it is to hear.

What to expect

The music radiates warmth and encouragement, with melodies that feel both contemporary and timeless. There is an underlying sense of purpose and celebration that builds throughout, supported by the weaving violin line that adds sophistication and depth to the overall sound.

Who it's for

Choirs at the high school and adult levels seeking a piece that combines accessibility with emotional substance. This octavo works equally well for graduation ceremonies and concert programs, and the inclusion of movement and staging options makes it appealing to directors who want to move beyond traditional standing performance.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the violin obbligato so it shines as a distinct melodic voice without overshadowing the choir; this countermelody deserves its own narrative arc throughout the piece
  • Integrate the sign language vocabulary from the Danza! Movement DVD into rehearsals early to allow singers time to internalize both music and gesture
  • Shape the text with intentionality, particularly on phrases about letting your song be heard, so the message lands with genuine conviction rather than sentiment

How to use it

Position this as a concert closer or finale, where its inspirational message and singable melody can resonate as a send-off moment. It also serves well in graduation ceremonies, school assemblies, or benefit concerts where the work's connection to the Daniel Pearl World Music Days adds meaning beyond the performance itself.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing SATB voicing while listening to an independent instrumental obbligato
  • Connecting text to musical shape for emotional expression
  • Integrating movement and gesture with accurate vocal performance
  • Sustaining ensemble blend across sections while maintaining individual part integrity
