Product Overview
Sam has once again delivered a creative work using the members of the band to whistle or sing during the first treatment of the tune. The success of the performance will depend on accurate and consistent interpretation of the dotted quaver, semiquaver figure which is utilised throughout the ensemble.
Several other melodies are used throughout the music. Most noticeable is the reference to the latter section of the chorus; “No retreating, Hell defeating, shoulder to shoulder we stand …… Victory for me through the blood of Christ, my Saviour….” (702 in the current song book). In The final bars of the music there is a clear reference to “Sound the battle cry, see the foe is nigh” this is played in the lower tenors and bass; careful attention to balance will be required at this point.
This is an exciting piece to play and listen to and will be enjoyed by many.
