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.

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) In each case the pdfs contain score and parts and the sound samples are electronic previews. I plan to create extended versions, with my own variations, in due course, but these versions are basically transcriptions of the originals.
