Regal and stately! Hal Hopson has transformed this popular Baroque masterwork into a majestic choral arrangement that you'll be able to perform throughout the year. After opening with a stirring unison fanfare, the piece takes off in a sparkling call and response format with layered voices singing his praises. The solid, supportive organ accompaniment can be enhanced with an optional solo trumpet or brass ensemble (two trumpets, two trombones, optional French horn). You can learn this in September with the rewarding general text and pull it out again for Easter, singing the resounding second verse praising the "Lord of Life!"
