The first five notes of this popular hymn are used as a motif for the introduction of this arrangement. Following the introduction, a trio, made up of the trombones and the tuba, first state the melody. The rest of the ensemble soon joins in and the arrangement leads to a modulation building to a powerful ending. The ending uses some of the introductory material to achieve a full and satisfying conclusion. Besides the uniquely beautiful sonorities of this combination of instruments, you will discover some nice counterpoint and beautiful harmonies. This tune is always a good selection to use for the coming of spring and is suitable for use as a prelude, feature piece, or offeratory.
