Originally
composed for solo organ,
Hailstork’s
fanfare is a 3½-minute
explosion of joyous sound
inspired by the
Baroque-era tradition of
Chorale Preludes. As in
Bach’s organ
preludes, the familiar
hymn’s phrases
broadly emerge from
ornate counterpoint, here
in the form of brass
fanfares. The result is
exhilarating! Also scored
by Hailstork for chamber
ensemble and for
orchestra, FANFARE ON
AMAZING GRACE was
transcribed for concert
band in January 2021 by
MGySgt Don Patterson,
staff arranger for
“The
President’s
Own†United States
Military Band, for that
ensemble’s
worldwide broadcast
performance at the 2021
Presidential
Inauguration.
