It Is Well with My Soul

For intermediate-level full orchestra and two violin soloists, this reverent setting offers a meaningful opportunity for expressive ensemble performance. The solo violins introduce and develop the familiar hymn tune as the orchestra gradually expands the texture through warm strings, colorful winds, and supportive brass writing. A carefully shaped musical arc encourages attention to balance, phrasing, and dynamic control, culminating in a powerful yet dignified climax. Well suited to worship concerts, festival performances, and reflective programming, it provides a rewarding showcase for both soloists and ensemble.
