About the Arranger: Molly Ijames

Molly Ijames

Molly Ijames grew up in Flint, Michigan, where her foundation in music education at Bob Jones University shaped her lifelong commitment to choral writing. Beginning as a church pianist in her teens, she has built a multifaceted career spanning composition, arrangement, and accompaniment across sacred and community music settings.

Her seven years at SoundForth Publishing and BJU in Greenville, South Carolina, launched her prolific output of over 100 choral anthems, seasonal cantatas, keyboard collections, and instrumental pieces. Now based in Davison, Michigan, Ijames continues to serve as a commissioned composer and educator, regularly leading workshops at music conferences and accompanying choral ensembles across churches and schools.

Why we love this

Ijames brings the sensibility of a working accompanist to every arrangement she creates, which means the voicing serves singers first and never becomes gratuitously complex. The emotional directness of this piece gives your choir a chance to focus on blend and communication rather than technical hurdles, making it ideal for building ensemble cohesion.

What to expect

The piece carries an introspective, hopeful quality that unfolds gradually rather than demanding immediate intensity. Ijames's harmonic language feels both accessible and sincere, allowing the text to anchor the emotional content while the music provides warmth and support.

Who it's for

This arrangement serves adult choirs, community ensembles, and accomplished high school groups seeking a substantial secular piece with emotional depth. It works particularly well for ensembles comfortable with sustained singing and interested in exploring contemporary American choral writing.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the harmonic progression thoughtfully; Ijames's voice leading creates natural momentum, but resist the urge to rush it. Let each chord breathe.
  • Balance the vulnerability of the text with the SATB sonority. The arrangement works best when singers approach it with genuine warmth rather than technical precision.
  • Pay attention to any divisi markings. Ijames typically introduces them for musical reason, not difficulty, so honor the color shifts they create.

How to use it

Position this as a centerpiece of a concert exploring themes of connection and resilience, or pair it with other contemporary secular works to showcase the range of current choral repertoire. Its fifteen pages and moderate difficulty make it a rewarding choice for mid-season programming when your singers have developed ensemble trust.
