A solo voice opens this moving anthem of individuality that doubles as a celebration of music. When all the voices join, singers echo warm phrases from part to part and build to an important realization at the bridge: If we all sing together, our songs will become like a symphony. You'll feel a firm tug of the heartstrings as the fully harmonized final verse builds to an impressive cadence and a momentous fermata. An awesome opener or closer in any voicing, and one you won't soon forget.

It is love at first listen with this stunning new setting of a beloved hymn of hope. Unison singing delivers the theme and first verse. The second stanza adds a vocal orchestration that creates a lovely sonic ambience. The anthem continues to grow in choral texture with enchanting moments of word painting and lush vocal adornments. After a final key change and a soaring obbligato, the piece recedes to a whispered ending and a final spiritual affirmation.

Mark Hayes is one of our finest arrangers and now he has used his expertise in vocal arranging on this Irving Berlin treasure from the American Song Book. A cappella voices richly present the well-known lyric, capturing its emotional patriotism. Beautiful and dynamic musical interpretation weaves throughout the piece, building to a glorious final “home sweet home.” For “game day” performances, the piece can be shortened by simply beginning at meas. 24. No matter the event or concert, this is a fantastic selection to be sung all year long!
