Fors SATB Voices and Organ with Opt. Brass Quartet & Timpani
By Robert A. Hobby
A festive concertato for All Saints, Pentecost, and general use, this begins with a lengthy introduction (with options for a shorter version). Using the tune WIE SCHON LEUCHTET, the composer has fashioned an upbeat setting of this hymn for congregation, soprano descant, SATB choir, and organ. The use of brass quartet and timpani is optional. Stanza one is in unison, stanza two is a choral variation for SATB choir, accompanied. There is an interlude which draws from the introduction, and stanza four is unison with descant.
