These variations are built upon the original clarinet quartet arrangement of this old hymn (also available on this site), starting with a sort of canon leading into the tune and, for a second verse, giving the tune to the lowest instrument. The harmonies include a curious reference to the old "English cadence" effect, like yearning sigh. The piece then ends with a repeat of the quasi-canon followed by a brief suspension. The pdf contains score and parts and the sound sample is an electronic preview.

Note: I have added a 4th clarinet part in the pdf for quartets who do not have a bass clarinet I know that there are some fairly ornate instrumental quartet versions of George Bennard's hymn The Old Rugged Cross.

A simple transcription version is also available The pdf file contains score and parts. The sound sample is an electronic preview Words of the original hymn: Shall we gather at the river, Where bright angel feet have trod, With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God? Refrain: Yes, we?ll gather at the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river; Gather with the saints at the river That flows by the throne of God. On the margin of the river, Washing up its silver spray, We will talk and worship ever, All the happy golden day. Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, And provide a robe and crown. At the smiling of the river, Mirror of the Savior?s face, Saints, whom death will never sever, Lift their songs of saving grace. Soon we?ll reach the silver river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace.
