Based on the two beautiful familiar hymns "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow" and "God of Our Fathers," this brilliant setting presents a variety of textures and colors to stimulate and challenge the developing band. A full, majestic introduction is followed by a delicate woodwind chorale leading to a final treatment, providing more intensity and active rhythms. This extended conclusion and final modulation provide an exciting climax to this stirring arrangement.
