Classic hymn tune, BROTHER JAMES' AIR A memorable earworm countermelody unifies three stanzas of the familiar hymn tune, BROTHER JAMES' AIR. In the middle minor section, the melody moves to the bass against thumb-damped treble chords. Then, the countermelody returns and leads us to a final, triumphant statement. This compelling arrangment assures us that the Lord truly is our Good Shepherd, making it ideal for the Easter season as well as general occasions.

Original Composition This festive, original composition from Hart Morris is a celebrative piece that makes extensive use of mart-lift and mallets throughout. Though the middle section calms somewhat, the tempo does not change as the more mellow sounds of handchimes enter, surrounded by brief mallet and thumb damp passages. This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.

The orchestration goes from extremely delicate - with only a single melody line running - to thick and complex, with multiple melodic and harmonic lines running simultaneously, often playing different techniques.

Traditional American melody I will arise and go to Jesus is a portion of the text that accompanies the traditional American melody Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy on which this arrangement is based. I will arise and go to Jesus is a portion of the text that accompanies the traditional American melody Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy on which this arrangement is based. A dancing, two-measure motif sets up the entrance of the melody in measure 5. The mood shifts to open, airy texture that swaps the melody between the upper and lower registers. These two thoughts are carried through a few key changes before ending on a strong chord. Set in d minor, f minor, and g minor, this piece is 65 measures.
