All Creatures—arr. Keith Andrews. Three familiar
hymn tunes create a powerful work of rich and
powerful musical moments. The opening fanfare
leads into a mixed-meter setting of All Creatures
of Our God and King. Next, The Old 100th is heard
in the middle instruments, the horns and saxes.
Finally, the melody to Thomas Tallis' Canon is heard
in the chimes, followed by an extended crescendo
into a full ensemble chorale setting.
