Arranged with the text of the popular gospel song well in mind, "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" is a programmatic work depicting the rapture of the church from the viewpoint of the "trumpeter of the Lord." A slow opening verse reminds the listener that "when the trumpet of the Lord shall sound . . . Time shall be no more," but the rousing, military-like chorus will have the members of your congregation on their feet. Using the theme and variation approach, Alan Armstrong has crafted a show-piece that makes the accompanist as much a part of the piece as the trumpeter. Triplet figures and arpeggios make this a challenging, but rewarding addition to your star trumpeter's repertoire.
