On A Hymnsong of Lowell Mason

Title: On A Hymnsong of Lowell Mason
Level: 4
Composer/Arranger: David R. Holsinger
Publisher: TRN Music Publisher
Classification: Religious Hymn
Instrumentation: Full
Source: UND Band Library Score
General Comments: This piece is based of Lowell Mason's 1832 work Olivet (My Faith Looks Up To Thee). Technically, the parts are not difficult; however the key signature is D flat Major, providing a bit of a challenge. The biggest difficulty in the piece is playing the long phrases musically and with control. If the ensemble is lacking a few French horns, this song will accomodate in that area as well, having only two horn parts. An excellent work for young players.
