About the Arranger: Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes

Mark Hayes has composed and arranged over 1,750 published works across concert, sacred, and musical theater idioms. His credentials span major venues including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the National Cathedral, where his compositions (Te Deum, Magnificat, Gloria) have received performances by honor choirs under his direction. Hayes earned his degree summa cum laude in Piano Performance from Baylor University in 1975 and received the Award for Exemplary Leadership in Christian Music from his alma mater in 2010.

Beyond choral writing, Hayes maintains an active practice as a pianist, conductor, and orchestrator. He has premiered his Requiem at Lincoln Center and at St. Ignatius Basilica in Rome as part of a Vatican-sponsored festival. His work extends to musical theater, including orchestrations for Madame Buttermilk and arrangements for theatrical productions. With over 100 piano books in print spanning gospel, classical, jazz, and Broadway styles, Hayes brings a pianist's sensibility to every project he undertakes.

Why we love this

Hayes builds this arrangement around two iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein melodies, creating a unified arc that feels inevitable rather than patchwork. The flexible voicing options (TB through TTBB) allow you to sculpt the piece for your ensemble's needs without sacrificing the emotional impact that makes these songs resonate across generations. The 11 pages develop both tunes with genuine choral sophistication while keeping the writing accessible.

What to expect

Hopeful and stirring, built on melodies that carry the weight of their theatrical origins while gaining new depth through Hayes's harmonization. The arrangement feels both intimate and grand, moving between introspective moments and expansive passages that invite full ensemble sound.

Who it's for

Male choirs seeking repertoire that combines Broadway familiarity with genuine four-part writing. The flexible voicing makes this accessible to groups with spotty bass sections or evolving roster sizes, while the musical substance appeals to singers who want more than novelty arrangements.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the soloistic passages that emerge in the upper voices against the harmonic foundation below; Hayes layers these melodies specifically to draw the listener's ear upward at key moments
  • Shape each phrase with the text's emotional arc rather than treating the tune mechanically. Both songs benefit from subtle rubato that honors the yearning quality in the lyrics
  • Experiment with the blend between sections during your first read-through to determine which voicing combinations work best for your group's texture and balance

How to use it

Consider this for a concert finale that bridges classical repertoire and contemporary audiences, or as a centerpiece for a Broadway/standards concert. The dual melody structure also works effectively as a standalone piece between heavier choral works, offering emotional substance without demanding the technical demands of art song.

Skills your students will build
