About this arrangement

Digital Download SKU: A0.1070202 Composed by Henri Abraham Cesar Malan (1787-1864). Arranged by Denny Glasscock. Christian,Jazz,Praise & Worship. Full Performance. Duration 165. Denny Glasscock #6058083. Published by Denny Glasscock (A0.1070202). The original public domain hymn has been modified to a "Big Band" style jazz piece. It's been designed to be played by large or small instrumental ensembles. It uses swing eighth note rhythms and incorporates most of the usual instruments of a concert band or orchestra, or jazz ensemble. Lyrics are not included, however it retains all six verses as it goes through key changes and a D.S. al Coda. Thus the lyrics from a hymn book could be used to sing all six verses. The first verse is a slow chorale style passage. Then it goes to fast tempo jazz style, much like a New Orleans style "derge," or funeral march. The piece is 2:45 minutes in length, but could be shortened, by about 50 seconds, by playing straight through without taking the D.S. al Coda. It would also make an impressive half time show piece for marching band. Sheet music for this full ensemble piece is available separately (see item number S0.873183 ) and includes a full and condensed score, a lead sheet, and all the individual instrument parts.
