This setting pairs Kathleen R. Moore's 2010 text with MERLE'S TUNE, a Hal Hopson hymn tune found in over 30 hymnals. First used for the 2019 Presbyterian Association of Musicians conference at Montreat, this hymn concertato has optional brass quintet and timpani parts. Stanza 1 is in unison, Stanza 2 could be for solo voices, quartet, or SATB, Stanza 3 is for sopranos accompanied by the rest of the choir humming (using Hopson's original harmonization) and Stanza 4 is unison with descant concluding with Amens.

Flexible music-making in church worship - with choirs, organ, congregation, brass ensemble, and other instruments The new Chorbuch zum Evangelischen Gesangbuch has been published for the Reformation anniversary year 2017. It features an innovative modular principle which offers new ideas for group music-making with different church music groups in parishes. Over 60 hymns are arranged in the form of modular settings. Each arrangement can be performed by different forces: by a 4-part mixed choir (SATB), a 3-part mixed choir (Soprano, Alto, Mezzo) or a 2- to 3-part children's choir (mainly melody and descant), each with a common organ part. The arrangements of each hymn are compatible with each other, so they can be performed separately or together to accompany the congregation, or they can be sung alternately. There are also one or two ad lib upper instrumental parts which fit with all the versions. The organ part can alternately be played by the brass ensemble.

Unlike other settings which call for large forces, these Festive Hymn Settings are intended to accompany congregational singing on (or near) Easter with one solo trumpet, organ, congregation, with optional choir and soprano descant. The results sound unexpectedly expansive due to the skills of one of our best-selling composers.
