More about this title

About the Composer: Brad Green

Brad Green

Brad Green holds degrees in Composition and Music Education from Ouachita Baptist University, Southwestern Seminary, and Texas Tech University, where he studied under Francis McBeth, Michael Cox, Benjamin Harlan, and Susan Brumfield. His Arkansas roots and rigorous training have shaped a compositional voice marked by authenticity and accessibility, earning his works regular performances at concert halls and choral festivals worldwide.

Beyond the concert hall, Green remains active as a teacher, church musician, and arranger. He is married to Dr. Lucy Santos Green, a professor of library and information science at the University of South Carolina. When not composing or rehearsing, he pursues reading, cooking, hiking, and time with family.

Why we love this

This arrangement captures the spirit and urgency of its source material without sacrificing musicality or choral balance. Green's treatment feels authentic to its cultural context while remaining genuinely singable for mixed ensembles of varying experience levels. The recorded accompaniment gives directors an immediate, professional reference that clarifies the rhythmic and harmonic framework.

What to expect

Energetic and purposeful, with a rhythmic foundation that feels alive and propulsive. The piece carries an undercurrent of determination and hope, building in intensity as harmonies layer and the ensemble finds its collective voice.

Who it's for

Mixed choirs at the intermediate to advanced level who want accessible Latin repertoire with real cultural substance. Directors seeking material that connects to contemporary themes of resilience and social consciousness will find this piece both musically rewarding and emotionally resonant.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the rhythmic energy of the accompaniment track establish the groove from your first rehearsal; singers should lock into the pulse early and maintain it consistently throughout.
  • Address any Spanish text pronunciation in advance, breaking phrases into syllables and modeling the natural rhythm of the language rather than forcing it into English speech patterns.
  • Balance the melody line so it cuts through the accompaniment without oversinging; the piece's power comes from ensemble cohesion, not individual projection.
  • Experiment with vocal production to capture the warmth and resonance characteristic of Latin choral music; this often requires a different approach to breath support and tone placement than standard concert repertoire.

How to use it

Program this as a concert centerpiece that shifts the energy and mood of your show, or pair it with other culturally diverse choral works to create a thematic set exploring resilience and community. Its contemporary relevance and rhythmic drive make it particularly effective in spring concerts or community engagement performances.

Skills your students will build

  • Latin rhythmic vocabulary and syncopation
  • Ensemble independence within a strong rhythmic framework
  • Spanish diction and vowel alignment
  • Singing with cultural authenticity and intentionality
