More about this title
About the Composer: Philip Lawrence
Philip Lawrence is a composer, lyricist, and producer who has shaped contemporary pop and theatrical music across film, television, and stage. His work spans the Disney catalog and original compositions for major streaming platforms, bringing theatrical sensibility and accessible melodic writing to audiences worldwide. Lawrence's approach to choral arrangements emphasizes clarity, singability, and emotional directness, making his music natural for educational ensembles.
Why we love this
This arrangement captures the theatrical polish of the original film while remaining genuinely singable for three-part mixed choirs. The rhythmic energy and optimistic message work brilliantly as a concert opener or showcase number at any point in the year, sidestepping the limitation of holiday-only programming. The available SoundTrax accompaniment and flexible orchestration options (rhythm, synth, or optional horns) let you scale the production to match your resources and venue.
What to expect
Rhythmically propulsive yet emotionally earnest, this piece radiates infectious optimism. The melody soars with Broadway-style accessibility, while the harmonic language feels fresh and contemporary without losing singability.
Who it's for
This octavo suits choirs seeking an uplifting, modern opening number with genuine theatrical appeal. It works for high school and adult choirs at intermediate to advanced levels who want contemporary material with film credibility and built-in audience engagement.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rhythmic precision in the opening measures. This piece lives on its groove, so establish a steady pulse before worrying about blend.
- Lean into the theatrical character without oversinging. The bright optimism comes from commitment to the lyrical message, not volume.
- Balance the independent voice lines in the chorus sections so each part can be heard clearly; SAB texture requires deliberate spacing.
- Work the recorded accompaniment early in rehearsal. Singing against the energy and style of the SoundTrax will set your performance expectations immediately.
How to use it
Program this as a concert opener to immediately capture audience energy and set an optimistic tone for your program. Its year-round appeal makes it equally at home in spring concert programming or showcase recitals, where contemporary choral repertoire deserves space alongside traditional selections.
Skills your students will build
