Voicing: SATB with Optional Flute and Cello
Arranged by Cindy Berry
Sometimes a pure and simple approach is best when arranging a song of great musical and lyrical integrity. This adaptation of the immortal hymn takes that approach and creates a choral gem that is sure to be a favorite. The flute and cello parts are musical magic and the choir writing is vocally complimentary. A short excursion into the minor mode adds depth and sets up an inspiring climatic crescendo that is very effective.
