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.
