Down to the River

Carl Fischer LLC

Presented as a set of variations, this glorious arrangement of the Irish hymn is a gorgeous selection for any concert or contest.  A Celtic feel is maintained throughout, heard as bagpipe drones and as a lively jig.  The broad, full ending is sure to leave a lasting impression.  Beautiful!

Be Thou My Vision

Randall Standridge Music, LLC

Standridge has arranged this reverent and somewhat sad-sounding hymn in honor of the life and influence of his grandmother, who passed away in 2012. Moving from moments of quiet beauty though hugely magnificent waves of sound, this compelling piece is a great example of the expressiveness and power that can be achieved by a fine concert band work. The final statement of the melody by a solo clarinet wraps up this memorable hymn-tune arrangement in a reverent, quiet way.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Drawing on two early American hymn tunes, here is a beautifully written lyric piece that contrasts moments of calm reflection with soaring emotional high points. The opening uses the lesser-known Vermont composed by William Billings and follows it with a poignant adaption of the familiar hymn Nearer, My God, to Thee.

On Joyful Wing

An African-American spiritual forms the basis for this creative and dramatic work for mature ensembles. Opening with a tender chorale-like statement, the piece evolves throughout with variations in mood, tempo, and intensity, ultimately building to a majestic and powerful conclusion.

Down in the River

Alfred Music Publishing

The American folk tune Nettleton is the basis for this moving and musical setting. The beautiful melody is also associated with the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and is given a wonderfully expressive treatment that will enhance any concert or contest performance.

Blessed Legacy

RWS Music Company

Simple, poignant, and beautiful, you will find this to be an artistic experience for both band and audience. Based on an old Swedish hymn also known as How Great Thou Art, it is appropriate for any concert or festival performance. This promises to be a standard in the concert band repertoire!

A Mother's Hymn

The musical benefits of performing chorales are amazing!  Balance, blend, tone and intonation are just a few of the areas of musicianship that can improve when bands make playing chorales part of their rehearsal warm-up.  This incredibly versatile collection is flexibly scored to work as a solo, duet, or more up to  full concert band instrumentation.  This works well for bands at the easy level and higher.

Bach and Before for Band

FJH Music Company Inc

Based on the hymn Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer, this heartfelt work begins delicately, relying on fragments of the hymn. Overlapping entrances establish a sense of timelessness as the music develops, ultimately reaching a powerful climax where the piece's original melody and the full hymn tune are presented simultaneously. As the music fades, the listener is left with a sense of peace and closure. Simply magical.

The Crystal Fountain

Few genres of music adapt to concert band writing as effectively as hymn tunes, and this setting is a glowing example. This very musical concert work is based on the hymn 'Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus with enhancing material added for transitions and unity. Beautifully written in the style of a classic hymn song setting for band, it's a remarkably musical setting that embraces the style and deserves a special place in the repertoire.

In Simple Faith

TRN Music Pub. Co.

A work that is gaining acceptance as a contest and festival choice.  It has been appearing on an increasing number of state lists.

They Led My Lord Away

Devmusic Company

This accessible lyrical work will bring a touching moment to any patriotic and historical concert performance and is fitting for contest or festival. This work is set to the poem Lift Every Voice and Sing, which was first performed by 500 school children to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday of February 12, 1900. This is a must-have piece to reinforce emotional and expressive playing.

Till Earth and Heaven Sing

Adapted directly from the classic version by The Canadian Brass, here is an arrangement for flexible instrumentation that retains the signature slow New Orleans style introduction, followed by an uptempo Dixieland romp.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

Arrangers Publishing Company

Creative as always, master arranger Jay Dawson brings a new element to this beloved hymn. Interspersed with the lovely melody are the subtle and compelling bugle calls of Last Post, the British equivalent of Taps. This hauntingly beautiful addition brings a unique and emotional mood to the overall effect.

Abide with Me

This tender melody was originally a choral work entitled All Praise to Thee with text based on a chorale written by Martin Luther and first published in 1524. This wonderfully musical melody has been beautifully reimagined for this outstanding work for wind band. The wide variety of instrumental colors is extremely effective in capturing and enhancing the rich harmonies and haunting melody of the original.
