More about this title
About the Artist: Pasek Paul
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have become defining voices in contemporary musical theater, with their work spanning Broadway, film, and concert stages. Their songs combine theatrical ambition with genuine emotional accessibility, making them unusually effective for educational settings where students need both musical substance and audience connection.
Why we love this
Mac Huff's arrangement preserves the anthemic power of the original while building in enough rhythmic and harmonic interest to keep musicians engaged across multiple rehearsals. The driving rock groove sits comfortably for young ensembles without sacrificing the song's inherent inspirational weight, and the text lands with genuine force rather than sentiment.
What to expect
Propulsive and unapologetic. The arrangement channels rock energy through a Broadway lens, creating something that feels both celebratory and muscular. Singing this builds momentum and confidence in the room.
Who it's for
Choirs looking for a contemporary opener with genuine theatrical stakes, whether for a full concert or a competition set. This works equally well for high school ensemble programs and younger singers performing for school assemblies or community events.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the groove pocket early in rehearsal; the instrumental pak works best when rhythm section feels locked and confident before voices enter.
- Balance the rock energy with clear diction on the lyrical moments. The contrast between driving sections and more intimate passages makes both more effective.
- Layer dynamics gradually through the arrangement rather than jumping to full volume. This creates forward momentum and prevents the climax from feeling flat.
- Let the accompaniment breathe. Resist the urge to add extra percussion or effects; the arrangement is already densely orchestrated.
How to use it
Open your spring concert or musical theater showcase with this. It resets audience energy instantly and establishes that your program has serious musical intentions. The arrangement also serves well in mixed-genre programming where you need a bridge between classical and contemporary repertoire.
Skills your students will build
