Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

A gospel arrangement such as this is where Mark Hayes shows his remarkable talent! Mark has a natural feel for taking a traditional 19th century hymn and turning it into an energetic, rhythmic, almost swing-like arrangement. Featuring lively alternation of full choir and unison/two-part voices, the varied vocal texture is easy to learn and is so much fun to sing and hear! The rousing keyboard accompaniment gives rhythmic drive and supports the vocals, and is an arrangement your accompanist will enjoy playing. The big sounding accompaniment track is very strong although the keyboard can stand alone. The instrumental parts include rhythm plus alto and tenor sax, two trumpets and two trombones. And, on top of everything else, it all fits together with amazing ease!
