More about this title

About the Composer: Charles Strouse

Charles Strouse wrote the score to Annie as a young composer, and that show became one of the most performed musicals in American theater. He studied at the Eastman School of Music and went on to compose for stage and screen across decades, always with a gift for melody that sticks with audiences. His work appears regularly in school and community theaters because the songs are genuinely singable and emotionally direct.

Why we love this

Greg Gilpin's arrangement captures the quiet hope of this song without overcomplicating it. The piece sits comfortably in mixed voices and builds naturally from vulnerability to strength, which gives singers room to find authentic emotion rather than relying on arrangement tricks.

What to expect

Hopeful without being saccharine. The melody feels almost conversational, like someone speaking directly to you about possibility and resilience. There's a simplicity to it that makes it powerful, the kind of song that reminds people why they joined the choir.

Who it's for

Choirs looking for repertoire that works equally well on a spring concert or a benefit performance. The song appeals to singers of all ages and pairs well with other contemporary pop or musical theater selections.

How to get the most out of it

  • Resist the urge to rush through the melody line. This song lives in the space between syllables, and pacing generosity will let the lyrical content land.
  • Balance any accompaniment (whether recorded or live) so the text remains clear throughout. These lyrics carry the entire emotional weight.
  • Work dynamics as a conversation between sections rather than dramatic shifts. Sopranos and altos might shape the opening differently from tenors and basses, which creates texture without sounding fragmented.

How to use it

Use this as a closer on a concert program, especially one with mixed repertoire. It's also effective as part of a short musical theater set, or as a standalone piece for a ceremony or community event where sincerity matters more than virtuosity.

Skills your students will build

  • Sustaining legit tone across longer phrases without pushing
  • Balancing emotional expression with musical control
  • Clarity and diction in contemporary musical theater style
  • Part independence in mixed voicing with minimal harmonic complexity
