This is an optimistic and powerful work based on the beloved Old Hundredth hymn tune. The piece is put together using two contrasting ideas - a fanfare-like acclamation and hymn tune in the pedals surrounded with toccata figuration in the hands. The composition will be very effective in liturgical organ playing as a postlude and in concert programs whenever joyful and loud music is desired, at the beginning or at the end. Dedicated to James Flores.

Old Hundredth or Doxology is a 16th century hymn tune. This melody has been set to various lyrics, but is most commonly associated with the lyrics to Psalm 100. Another title given to this hymn in several Christian traditions is Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow which simply uses another set of lyrics. In this String Trio arrangement, each of the 3 instruments gets a chance to play melody with a statement of one of the verses. This arrangement is very organ-like with its chords and harmonies.

Old Hundredth (Doxology) is a hymn tune from the 16th Century. It received its current name from its association with the 100th Psalm. The old melody is also sung to different lyrics and has been used in chorales and instrumental works. J.S. Bach used the melody in one of his Cantatas and Felix Mendelssohn in one of his Piano Trios. Most recently, Ralph Vaughan Williams used the old 100th psalm tune for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in a brass fanfare. This arrangement for violin & cello is a theme-and-variations type setting of the melody.

This work for trombone and organ is part of the 2024 Suite for Trombone and Organ, which is geared toward the younger, less experienced player, with works that can be performed at church services and other occasions.  This Festive March on the Old Hundredth is based on the hymn tune, known to most as Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.  It is written in joyful fashion, and could work well as a festive prelude or joyful postlude.  The range is one that a typical high school player (or advanced middle schooler) could play, with rhythms well within the reach of players at that level.  The solo part is well-supported by the organ part, with hopes that rehearsals can be minimal in putting this together for performance.  There are two other movements to this 2024 Suite, both available on this site as well.  Please give that young musician the chance to shine!  Also included is a treble clef part that could be played by trumpet, treble clef baritone, or tenor sax.
