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.

This congregational hymn setting is part of the Presbyterian Association of Musicians Series, and is based on the hymn tune KINGSFOLD. For brass quartet (or quintet,) timpani, and organ. Stanzas one and three are in unison, stanza two can optionally be sung by SATB voices using the standard hymnal harmonization. (These voices could be the choir or just the congregation invited to sing in parts.) Stanza four is unison with optional soprano descant. A festive piece despite the minor key, this arrangement is full of word painting, infectious rhythms, and just plain fun.
