More about this title

About the Composer: Marc Shaiman

Marc Shaiman has become one of contemporary music's most versatile composers, moving fluidly between Broadway stages, film scores, and television productions. His work on Mary Poppins Returns demonstrates his gift for crafting melodies that feel both modern and timeless, carrying emotional weight while remaining accessible to young singers.

Why we love this

Shaiman's melody sits naturally in the voice, which means your singers can focus on the emotional storytelling rather than fighting awkward ranges or intervallic leaps. The arrangement by Garrett Breeze preserves the song's quiet intimacy while giving each voice part something genuinely musical to sing, making this work equally rewarding for developing and experienced choirs.

What to expect

The music unfolds with a quiet reverence, like a lullaby offered to someone grieving. Warm harmonies and a gentle melodic contour create an atmosphere of comfort and hope, inviting singers and listeners into an intimate emotional space.

Who it's for

This octavo works beautifully for choirs at the middle school through high school level, as well as adult community and church choirs seeking repertoire with immediate emotional appeal. The piece also serves concert and musical theater programs looking for a contemporary film selection that engages both performers and audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Find the sustained, almost hymn-like quality in the harmonic progression; resist the urge to rush the pacing even as your singers gain confidence with the material.
  • Balance the blend carefully in the homophonic sections so that no single voice line dominates the gentle texture Shaiman created.
  • Let the lyrics breathe. This song lives in reflection and tenderness, so encourage singers to think about the poetic imagery of lost things finding their way home.

How to use it

This pairs naturally with other contemporary film music or as a standalone concert piece that draws general audiences into the concert hall. It works particularly well as a closing selection for a program centered on Disney or family film repertoire, or as part of a thematic concert exploring songs of hope and resilience.
