When I Survey the Wondrous Cross / Complete Set

HAMBURG is a well-known tune for this beloved text, and this arrangement will add harmonic interest to its usual staid hymnal setting. The piano gives a 4-bar introduction, and voices and instruments enter on the first stanza. Second stanza introduces various new ideas in the instruments and piano, and the third stanza may be sung acapella with optional chimes. Piano and instruments re-enter as the 3rd stanza concludes, climax through a stunning key change, and voices soar on “Were the whole realm of nature mine.” Complete set includes Score, Piano, Flute 1-2, Clarinet in B-flat 1-2, Trumpet in B-flat, Horn in F, Trombone 1-2, Tuba, Violin 1-2, Viola, Cello, Bass, and Percussion.
