Opis

for SATB and keyboard or orchestra The five arrangements are in various scorings. One is accompanied by piano three hands, another by organ, and the rest are for piano. Each hymn is beautifully arranged and is a wonderful addition to any service or concert programme. Orchestral material for all five pieces is available on hire.

Recenzje

Mack Wilberg's arrangements tend to be well-crafted, appealing and accessible to amateur choirs; the pieces in this volume are no exception . . . Although the arrangements are relatively straightforward and eminently singable, several require a significant amount of divisi. For this reason most would work best in a festival service or choral society concert, rather than a standard church service.
