This masterfully crafted arrangement presents the endearing hymn tune among florid counter lines that both support and enhance the traditional melody's innate grace and beauty. This work will serve as an engaging introit, anthem, or recessional during the worship service of a variety of faiths, and will also highlight a wedding or recital.

This setting of George Bernard's Classic Hymn, "Old Rugged Cross," for Clarinet quartet/choir takes a completely new approach harmonically in this arrangement. While the famous melody in the 1st clarinet has a few added embellishments, the rest of the ensemble joins with tighter jazz-influenced harmony.

A reflective approach to this piece of music would be extremely rewarding in a worship setting when used either as an offertory or as a lead-in to a music set. While none of the individual parts are particularly challenging, it will still be an exercise in balanced small ensemble playing.
