This powerful choral anthem was written by Broadway songwriters Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty in honor of the 40th anniversary of The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC. Lynn's text uses harmony as a metaphor to represent acceptance, and Stephen's inspirational music is a canvas of hope and strength. Robust piano, bass, and drum parts provide a sturdy pop accompaniment for three full voicings designed to accommodate any four-part group.

Aaron Humble's arrangement of this beloved old favorite from American hymnody is appropriate for both school and church. With soaring obligato lines and shimmering harmony, when sung with a warm and gentle tone,?The Sweet By and By?is certain to paint a picture of a better time for us all to look forward. Also available for SATB Voices (CM9572).I have great memories of my family gathering around the piano to sing hymns. As my sister and I learned more about music through lessons, band and choir, we started adding harmony and really making music. The old American hymnody really holds a special place in my heart. Webster set Bennett's text in a time when American theology had taken a turn away from earlier ideas where God was a god of vengeance and anger. With this in mind, this arrangement should be sung with a warm and gentle tone allowing the dissonances to shimmer, the sweetness of the harmonies to bloom, and the obbligato lines to soar.
