Hymn by Folliott Pierpoint & Conrad Kocher The words of this 1863 text were penned as an expression of gratitude for God's gifts in creation and the church. Joel Raney has masterfully retained the familiar tune and text, yet takes it to resplendent heights in this inspired ballad setting, which includes a delightful optional part for 3-5 octaves of handbells with optional 3-5 octave handchimes.

For SATBar Saxophone Quartet. Composed by Conrad Kocher. Arranged by Bill Perconti. Quartet; Solo Small Ensembles; Woodwind - Saxophone Quartet. Advance Music: Holiday Celebration Series. Christmas; Epiphany; Sacred; Traditional; Winter. Score and Part(s). Advance Music #01-ADV7429. Published by Advance Music (AP.1-ADV7429).

UPC: 805095074291. English.

The lyrics for As with Gladness Men of Old were written by Englishman William Dix (1837--1898) in the 1860s, reportedly on the day of the Epiphany while Dix was sick in bed. The tune was included in a collection of German chorales edited by Conrad Kocher and published in the 1830s. As a testimony to the flexibility of such music, the hymn is also sung during Thanksgiving under the title For the Beauty of the Earth.

This arrangement for saxophone quartet (SATBar)---rather than favoring a soprano solo with accompaniment---strives to include all of the players in the music making, particularly by distributing the melodic material. All dynamics and articulations, minimally marked, should be taken as suggestions only, as performers are encouraged to make their own interpretations.

Moore gives these pieces an improvisatory feel, yet makes the tunes readily recognizable for the listener.

Claude T. Smith’s setting of For The Beauty Of The Earth as this chorale prelude develops the original hymn by Conrad Kocher. It celebrates our beautiful Earth, the skies above us, and the joy of loving one another. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as nine musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.

Since the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, hymns have been the tie binding the hearts and spirits of Christians together. With their beautiful melodies and poetically penned words, hymns are the universal language of Christian worship, the bond that draws believers together from all walks of life and across the world. With texts of faith and inspiration, hymns speak to present time with words of assurance of hope, and help direct us toward the future in glory. Next to the Bible, they have endured as the timeless voice of the Christian faith, teaching and inspiring believers throughout generations. In this collection of “favorites” we offer listeners a compilation of the genre’s most beloved and inspirational hymns of faith. Arranged by some of today’s most distinguished church music icons, the hymns in this collection will thrill and comfort the faithful listener. Drawing upon the words and melodies of some of the world’s greatest hymn writers, including Fanny Crosby, Charles Wesley, and Martin Luther, the arrangers in this collection maintain each work’s original integrity while beautifully transporting each hymn into the realm of today’s modern worship world. From the stirring strains of “Amazing Grace” to the majestic power of “Holy, Holy, Holy,” this collection will inspire Christian worshipers.
