Singing King of Kings: what your voice is in for
This Hillsong Worship hymn moves like a procession at 68 bpm: the researched range is compact, C#4 to D5, a 13 semitone span, but it sits entirely in the upper middle of the voice, and that placement is the whole story. Verses begin reverent and low within the octave, each one adding weight, and the deciding moment is the final chorus, where the melody sustains its top notes over the full band swell. Thirteen semitones sounds easy; parking your tessitura this high for five minutes is the actual work, and it calls for breath pacing and a mix that never tips into shouting.
Mezzos sing it as written in D major, per the page's key math, with margin at both ends. Altos fit entirely too, topping out right at their ceiling, and the math offers them a four semitone drop to A# major to relax the sustains. Sopranos fit with seven semitones of headroom and can take the offered three semitone lift to F major for extra shimmer. Tenors face five semitones over the top; the offered six semitone drop to G# major is a big move but an honest one.
Practice cue: mark the final chorus once through at speaking volume, noting every spot where you want to push. Those are your breath planning points, not your power points.
