For SATB Voices and Keyboard or Brass Quintet
By Daniel Kallman
Austere and noble, the hymn tune THE MORNING TRUMPET is from The Sacred Harp, 1844. The composer has crafted an unusual setting for SATB and Brass Quintet. The voice parts are very accessible for any size choir and always take center stage (for example, the piece begins with unison men a cappella, not the usual choice in a piece with brass quintet). The text looks forward to the time when we transcend death to be with Jesus. Your choir will have fun singing the recurring refrain "O shout glory, glory!"
