ISBN 9781491153666. UPC: 680160911165. 6.75 x 10.5 inches. Key: Gb major. English. Sanford F. Bennett (1836-1898).

Aaron Humble's arrangement of this beloved old favorite from American hymnody is appropriate for both school and church. With soaring obligato lines and shimmering harmony, when sung with a warm and gentle tone,?The Sweet By and By??is certain to paint a picture of a better time for us all to look forward. Also available for TTBB Voices (CM9571).
I have great memories of my family gathering around the piano to sing hymns. As my sisters and I learned more about music through lessons, band, and choir, we started adding harmony and really making music. The old American hymnody really holds a special place in my heart. Webster set Bennett's text in a time when American theology had taken a turn away from earlier ideas where God was a god of vengeance and anger. In this new era of optimism, God became more familiar, more loving, and more reassuring. With this in mind, this arrangement should be sung with a warm and gentle tone allowing the dissonances to shimmer, the sweetness of the harmonies to bloom, and the obbligato lines to soar.
