More about this title
About the Composer: Alan Menken
Alan Menken has shaped the sound of modern musical theatre through decades of prolific composing. His work on Disney animated films and Broadway adaptations demonstrates a gift for melody that resonates across age groups and performance contexts, making his scores perennial favorites for educational ensembles.
Menken's approach to songwriting prioritizes emotional clarity without sacrificing harmonic sophistication. For music educators, his catalogue offers accessible entry points into contemporary musical theatre writing while maintaining enough musical substance to keep skilled ensembles engaged.
Why we love this
Menken's melody carries genuine emotional weight, and Mac Huff's arrangement captures that without overwhelming young singers. The song functions beautifully as a concert finale because it gives your ensemble a moment of authentic beauty to leave with the audience, not just entertainment.
What to expect
The song unfolds with quiet conviction, building emotional stakes without demanding vocal gymnastics. Esmeralda's optimism comes through as genuine and earned, creating a musical space where sincerity feels neither naive nor heavy.
Who it's for
Any choir seeking a closing number with emotional resonance and contemporary appeal. This works equally well for middle school, high school, or adult ensembles that want to end their concert on a note of hope rather than spectacle.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choral blend against the full instrumental texture by letting singers find their pitch and dynamic placement within the overall sound rather than singing over the accompaniment.
- Shape the final phrase with intention; the ending should feel both conclusive and reflective rather than rushed.
- Let the orchestral interludes breathe. These moments give singers recovery time and allow instrumental colors to land with clarity.
How to use it
Reserve this for the final slot on your spring concert, where its reflective character gives audiences a moment to sit with something meaningful. It also pairs well with other contemporary musical theatre selections if you're building a concert theme around hope or resilience.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining legit vocal tone across a longer phrase without strain
- Maintaining emotional connection to text while tracking ensemble blend
- Balancing vocal line against rich instrumental accompaniment
- Shaping dynamics across an extended melody to build toward climactic moments
