This spirited arrangement was written to lead a congregation in the singing of the hymn written to the tune of the Irish folk song "Star of County Down".
The opening begins with each instrument performing a soulfully yearning recitative which leads to a setting of this beautiful warm hymn.
A beautiful setting of the Austrian Hymn which begins quietly, builds to a climax, and then tapers away to quietness again. There is a nice singing quality to the entire work.
This is a spirited arrangement of "The Gravel Walks" and the "Star of County Down" for brass quintet and percussion.
