ISBN 9781491153659. UPC: 680160911158. 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 SATB Voices (CM9572).
I have great memories of my family gathering around the piano to sing hymns. As my sister 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. 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.

UPC: 038081571454. English. Words by Robert Frost.

A lesser known yet deeply poignant Robert Frost poem. Greg's emotional choral setting is full of expressive rubato that invites time to thoughtfully process the meaningful words. Changing time signatures make space for effortless phrasing and sensitive syllabic stress. A consistently warm harmonic palette and several fully realized suspensions leave us with a feeling of resolution. An exquisite selection for SATB or TTBB choirs and their responsive accompanists.
