Description

From the Southern Harmony compilation of colonial era hymn tunes, this arrangement features three distinct hymn tunes. JEFFERSON is in minor setting with thick, beautiful harmonization associated with the text “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus.” RESTORATION has a swingin’ style with a walking bass part and fun techniques. DOVE OF PEACE (I Come with Joy) showcases an upbeat treatment with plenty of stopped techniques to appeal to your bell choirs. These arrangements provide plenty of interest and the opportunity to teach the historical context of this important contribution to music history.
