The present musical piece is a compositional study. Don't listen to the sound of the flute, just float between the musical notes and navigate the world beyond. Let your imagination run free. Duration of work: 5:32 min. Inspired by the biblical verse: "Now the God of hope fills you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost". (Romans 15:13 - KJV).

Eighteenth-centuryBaptist minister, scholar, and hymn-writer Robert Robinson(1735-1790) wrote the hymn text, ?Come Thou Fount of EveryBlessing? in 1757 at the age of 22. Inthe USA, Robinson's hymn is typically set to the tune ?Nettleton,?whose authorship is unclear. Some attribute it to printer John Wyeth,who published it in his Repositoryof Sacred Music, Part Second(1813);others attribute it to Asahel Nettletion, a popular evangelist of theearly nineteenth century who published VillageHymns(1825).However, VillageHymnscontainedtexts only and no music, so there is no evidence that Nettletonactually wrote the tune that carries his name. Suitable for high school to professional ensembles for use in concert, recital, and worship, this intermediate-level arrangement presents the tune straightforwardly tobegin, then follows with a lyrical variation in 4/4 time, a variationin 5/8, and a concluding march. Fullscore and parts, 8.5x11-inch format. �Copyright 2010 ToddMarchand / ConSpiritoMusic.com
