Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above
Charles Wesley-AMSTERDAM, Foundry Collection, 1742
SATB Choir, Organ/Keyboard, Opt. Brass & Percussion
Looking for something just a bit different/reduced from the concertato form, and even easier to learn to kick off the choir season?
Based on Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above this arrangement, entitled Let All Things Praise the Lord is faithful to the original including a stanza omitted in most hymnals that speaks of the choir as a battle-worthy leadership unit in worship.
The text, based on Psalm 150 by English pastor Charles Wesley, was originally published in his brother, John Wesleys Founder Collection of 1742 in conjunction the tune AMSTERDAM (which carried annotations and adaptations from a German tune).
Immediately following the choir, brass, percussion and organ/keyboard fanfare, opportunity is given to the congregation to participate in the liturgy. The middle section is original music that wings the emotion/meaning of the text to a more meditative stream and back againvia a reprise of the opening fanfareto the rousing finale with a creative descant that appears not only in Soprano/Tenor, but also (for a change) in Alto and Bass. And, with a little attention from the conductor and choir the congregation can stay in it until the final release!
Included are parts for: Choir, Organ/Keyboard, Bb Trumpets, F Horn, Trombones, Bass Trombone/Tuba and Percussion: Mallets/Tympani (2 players) as well as alternate parts for Baritone B.C., Baritone T.C., Eb Alto Saxophone, Bb Tenor Saxophone and Eb Baritone Saxophone.
