I wrote a piece based on this hymn. Search for "Fantasy on an American Folk Hymn" to hear it performed by the Indiana University Southeast Concert Band.

I saw the President's Own play this last week and... yeah.
No words can describe the incredible sounds I heard that night.
-
Wow this song actually makes me cry
-
Has a Copland-esque sound.
-
This is my favorite movement from that piece. But does this not have English Horn?
-
Midnight Cry
Exhilaration
The Soldier's Return/Thorny Desert

I wish the oboe sound was a little more dominant in the solo. the other voices seemed to cover up the oboe's beautiful solo.
other than that, great performance of Donald Grantham's Southern Harmony Mvt. 2 "Wonderous Love"

I am a shape-note singer and know 'Wondrous Love' as a Sacred Harp tune. (Sacred Harp and Southern Harmony are both traditional shape-note tunebooks and have many songs in common.)
I'm curious as to what tunes are used in the other movements of Grantham's composition. Anybody know?

we played this piece this past year. so beautiful.
I was on soprano sax. so nice
I know this has been on for a year, but i really love wonderous love, we played in my band this year and im a BCL player so this movement was my favorite by far, the other movents were freakishly eveil

I know what you mean! I have a couple of friends in the Band here that play Bass Clarinet, and they always talked about how hard the other movements are. Check out the other videos of The Concordia College Band if you want to hear some more great Wind Band music!
