Arr. Timothy Johnson. Par WESLEY CHARLES. Glorious and reverent! A bright fanfare prelude on Charles Wesley's 'And Can It Be?' is ideal for church or school. Timothy Johnson's creative and appropriate treatment will inspire the congregation or concert audience from the opening notes to the heroic conclusion. Skillful reharmonization, counterpoint, and colorful orchestration combine with a beautiful contrasting 'solemne' section to make this arrangement a sure winner. Perfect for festival, concert, and church service alike. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par COURT DOUGLAS. Charles Wesley has given the church some of its most popular and eloquent hymns that have shown the ability to stand the test of time. ‘O for a Thousand Tongues Sing’ was written to celebrate what Wesley referred to as his ‘second birth’. Wesley marked this day as the day he responded to the love and grave of God. / Niveau : 2 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

1861 is a lyric hymn/fantasia for young concert bands based on the beautiful 19th century Anglican hymn “Lead Me Lord” (written in 1861 by Charles Sebastian Wesley). The hymn itself features a gorgeous melodic lineover biting harmonies and striking counterpoint and provides the pillars for this work. First is a soloistic treatment followed with a dramatic full band tutti and finally a section of evocative humming. Throughout are uniquetextures and colorful improvisitory accompaniments.
