More about this title
About the Composer: Jonathan Stockstill
Jonathan Stockstill is a prolific composer and arranger in the contemporary Christian music space, known for writing accessible yet meaningful liturgical works that connect with congregational and choral singers. His compositions balance theological substance with melodic clarity, making his pieces valuable tools for worship services and concert settings alike.
Why we love this
Stockstill crafts melodies that lodge in singers' hearts while maintaining enough musical sophistication to engage serious musicians. The Harold Ross orchestration gives you a full instrumental sound without requiring a pit orchestra, making this a genuine option for churches and concert programs where ensemble resources are limited.
What to expect
The piece radiates genuine devotion without sentimentality. You'll find moments of intimacy paired with fuller, more expansive sections that allow the choir and orchestra to swell together in declaration.
Who it's for
This works equally well for church choirs preparing worship services and concert choirs building contemporary sacred repertoire. You'll find it accessible for mixed ability ensembles while offering enough textural variety to engage listeners.
How to get the most out of it
- Build the emotional arc gradually in the verses before the choir enters fully in the chorus. The text 'I live to worship you' gains power through restraint in the opening measures.
- Balance your soloists carefully against the instrumental accompaniment. The arrangement likely features moments where individual voices should shine, so avoid letting accompaniment levels mask the lyrical content.
- Shape the five minute arc with intentional breath and phrasing. A piece this length needs clear sectional thinking to maintain momentum without feeling rushed or dragging.
- Honor the contemporary harmonic language while keeping attacks clean and unified. Modern Christian writing often sits in accessible keys, but precision in ensemble response matters greatly.
How to use it
Place this as a centerpiece in a contemporary sacred concert or as the emotional anchor in a mixed-repertoire service. Its five minute duration gives you flexibility to pair it with shorter pieces or use it as a standalone statement of faith.
Skills your students will build
