l BlessingsRobert W. Smith. Based on the
hymn The Doxology written in 1674, this lyrical
and sensitive arrangement for beginning band
provides multiple teaching opportunities in a rich
musical setting. The first melodic statement is

an awareness between sections of the band, while
the second melodic statement contrasts with a
lush full-ensemble setting. The use of mixed meter
in an accessible and musically logical manner
reinforces teaching concepts, creating a beautiful

drives forward, it serves well as a concert opener

expressive yet easy to play.
