n Come Thou Fount of Every Blessingarr.
Randall Standridge. The arranger chose this
reverent, yet somewhat sad-sounding hymn
to arrange for band in honor of the life and
influence of his grandmother, who passed away
in 2012. Moving from moments of quiet beauty
though hugely magnificent waves of sound, this
powerful arrangement is a great example of the
expressiveness and power that can be achieved by
a fine concert band work. The final statement of the
hymn tune melody by a solo clarinet wraps up this
memorable hymn tune arrangement in a reverent,
quiet way.
