This is one from a collection of 7 gospel songs from the late 18th, 19th and early 20th Century, in their original versions, as arranged for clarinet quartet. The arrangements differ from the choral originals for instrumental purposes in that: some repeated notes in the lower instruments are merged into single long notes various notes are slurred or made into staccatos and fermatas (pauses) are recreated as extended notes and bars, where it makes musical sense to do so. These arrangements are also available as a bundle of 7 (7 Songs of Glory ) for $25 and also separately, at $4.00 each: The Glory Song (C H Gabriel) I Need Thee Every Hour (Robert Lowry) Count your Blessings (E O Excell) Just As I Am (W Bradbury) O for a thousand tongues to sing (Charles Wesley) (Hymn tune known as Lyngham) Tell me the old old story (W H Doane) Trust and obey (D B Towner)

All You Need Is Love" is a song by the Beatles that was released as a non-album single in July 1967. It was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon?McCartney. The Beatles performed the song as Britain's contribution to Our World, the first live global television link. Watched by over 400 million in 25 countries, the program was broadcast via satellite on 25 June 1967. The day before the Our World broadcast, the Beatles decided that the song should be their next single. Released in the UK on 7 July 1967, it went straight to number one and remained there for three weeks.[citation needed] It was similarly successful in the United States after its release on 17 July, reaching number one for a week. "All You Need Is Love" was also included on the American LP version of Magical Mystery Tour in November 1967,as well as in the film, and on the LP Yellow Submarine, released in 1969. This song is also featured in Cirque du Soleil's show Love, based on the songs of the Beatles. "2016 Arranging Contest Entry"Ideal for a wedding or Valentine's Day.
