For SATB Voices, Assembly, Brass Quintet, Timpani and Organ
By Robert J. Powell
An exciting fanfare by brass and organ sets up the opening unison stanza of this moving arrangement. The a cappella third stanza is independent and quieter. Perhaps not surprisingly, the concluding stanza is tutti, complete with a soaring soprano descant. Note that the brass quintet is necessary for a performance of this concertato (horn in F may substitute for trombone I). The organ part is included in both the full score and octavo editions.
