A Hymn of Thanksgiving Kremser / Arr. Andrew Glover

Command Series

The Barnhouse Command Series includes works at grade levels 2, 2.5, and 3. This series is designed for middle school and junior high school bands, as well as high school bands of smaller instrumentation or limited experience. Command Series publications have a slightly larger instrumentation than the Rising Band Series, and are typically of larger scope, duration, and musical content.

This famous hymn (We gather together) has been skillfully arranged for the Barnhouse Command series by Andrew Glover. An opening chorus featuring clarinets and horns is followed by a woodwind choir, and concludes with an impressive finale. Excellent for teaching tone development, lyrical playing, and phrasing, it's a great choice for middle school or very young high school groups, and works well for contest/festival as well as concert. Inspiring!
