The popular tune SHADES MOUNTAIN by K. Lee Scott (1976) has been fashioned into a celebratory hymn-anthem by composer Michael Burkhardt. Written for a new pipe organ at the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior, Green Valley, Arizona, the organ part is understandably in the foreground. There is a congregational part as well as a verse for SATB choir. Optional brass quartet parts are also available. The text is by Carl Daw (1990) and speaks of creation, blessing, redemption, and service.

The hymn tune SHADES MOUNTAIN (K. Lee Scott, 1987) is paired with a 1976 Erik Routley text in this concertato for choir, congregation, brass quintet, organ, and optional timpani and percussion. Six stanzas of the fifteen-measure melody are provided here. Two stanzas are notated in SATB layout. Stanza 2 encourages the congregation to sing in four parts as in a hymnal layout (reproducible congregational pages are provided). Stanza 4 is for the choir alone, a cappella, in four parts. One stanza (1) asks the women of the congregation to sing with the women of the choir, and this concept is repeated with the men (stanza 3). Stanza 5 is unison, stanza 6 is unison with descant. An introduction and interlude before the final stanza round out the piece. A majestic piece, full of wonderful variety and color.
