Here's "See, The Conqu'ring Hero Comes" by Handel. Best known as a chorus from the oratorio "Judas Maccabeus" (first performed in 1747), the piece was originally written for another oratorio that opened a few months later called "Joshua". Such was the popularity of this chorus that Handel added it to his earlier work. It is also known as the tune to the hymn "Thine Be The Glory".
One of the reeds in the Treble 16ft Clarinet set has picked up a bit of dirt and is making a horrible noise, but luckily it doesn't spoil things too much.
@squirell1952 Either "Thine Be the Glory" or as in the Reformed denomination, "Praised be the Father."

@squirell1952 Well there are two different sets of lyrics set to this tune:
See! The Conquering Hero Comes (which is actually dedicated to a famous British general)
and
Thine be the Glory (probably the one you are looking for, actually and hymn) Just google this one :)
