Originally featured as the theme song for the 1988 animated film The Land Before Time, “If We Hold on Together” touched hearts around the world through the unforgettable voice of Diana Ross. With a message of courage, unity, and holding onto hope even in the darkest times, the song has become a timeless anthem of resilience and friendship.
This concert band arrangement preserves the gentle strength and emotional depth of the original, bringing it to life through the warm colors of woodwinds and the rich harmonies of brass. The piece unfolds like a story—beginning in quiet reflection and rising toward a radiant, uplifting climax—inviting performers and audiences alike to embark on a shared musical journey.
As you perform this piece, let each phrase speak with sincerity. The heartfelt melodies and harmonic swells call for an ensemble sound built on empathy and togetherness. From the soft, introspective middle section to the soaring final statement, this is a work that rewards expressive playing and careful listening. Without lyrics, the music still speaks—reminding us that when we hold on together, anything is possible.
