| All Hymns Bright and Beautiful |
|
Our specialist presentation "All Hymns Bright and Beautiful" was performed for the Maylands Uniting Church on Sunday August 2. A programme of sacred music in a variety of styles was well-received by a large and enthusiastic audience. This presentation is available on contract to any church and can be tailored as required. Included in the program were chorale preludes by JS Bach, including Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, a movement from Brahms German Requiem, as well as up tempo jazz arrangements of Just A Closer Walk With The and This Train Is Bound For Glory. Some favourite hymns were included, especially arranged for the band, which the audience joined in singing. A premiere performance of Ian Macpherson's "All Things Bright and Beautiful" was given, and the program began with a stunning arrangement of Now Thank We All Our God for brass and percusiion, with our Musical Director at the console of the church's pipe organ.
