English.

A carefully crafted, clearly written choral work. For two-part choir with assembly in mind, this is just the right piece for those occasions when a message of hope is appropriate. Evocative of an early American folk hymn, the lyrical melody is paired with a flowing harmony line in the lower voice and effectively modulates up a whole step to the final verse, placing all voices firmly on the melody under a heavenly vocal descant on the Latin text Adoremus in aeternum. Smaller choirs will love this one.

Based on an early American fiddle tune, Grainger created a setting as he describes that aims at preserving a pioneer blend of lonesome wistfulness and sturdy persistence. The 16-measure melody is fully explored and developed in a variety of harmonizations and instrumental colors, and is particularly noteworthy for the extensive use of tuneful percussion (bells, chimes, xylophone, marimba) as well as important parts for piano and harp. This publication brings back the classic 1967 edition arranged for band by Glenn Cliffe Bainum. (Grade 4) Dur: 6:00
