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.

From the composer of Festival of Carols and The Winter Rose comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music, the cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away In a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children, Go Where I Send Thee and Go, Tell It on the Mountain. Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and Scripture. Two orchestral options are available allowing maximum flexibility in performance.

This delightful work develops three Early American tunes: Complainer, Antioch and Expression. The first is a jaunty romp while the other two are more lyrical. Many color possibilities as well as a sense of humor here!

UPC: 884088659530. 9.0x12.0x0.068 inches.

Overture on a Hymn Tune is based on “The Old Ship Of Zion” which is found in the Early American Sacred Harp songbook. Johnnie Vinson uses a fast-slow-fast overture format to give this wonderful melody an appealing setting with plenty of variety and musicality. The slow middle section is a rhapsodic treatment of the main melody, while the two fast segments offer appealing and upbeat settings sure to be enjoyed by all. Skillfully scored to sound full with inexperienced players. Dur: 3:30.
