Alan has crafted a superb arrangement of this treasured hymn that first appeared in the Sacred Harp Hymn Book of 1844. After a free introduction by choir and trumpet, the first two stanzas introduce the tune in strict tempo while the trumpet outlines melodic fragments above the chorus. In each succeeding verse we find imaginative varied choral textures with trumpet prominently displayed.
