This arrangement is includes two familiar hymn tunes; How Firm A Foundation and Lead On O King Eternal. The piece is a kind of noble processional that celebrates the eternal majesty and glory of our Saviour.

This is an arrangement that can be played with as few as 8 brass instruments and two keyboards (one playing a string reduction) and still achieve a symphonic sound, thus making the music available to smaller churches.

Optional string and woodwind parts (included) can be added and will make the performance more meaningful and provide a richer sound.

The arrangement is not a simple hymn transcription nor is it cluttered by artificially imposed rhythms, decoration for it's own sake, or key changes for lack of a better idea. I think you will like this arrangement.
