Will L. Thompson's Softly And Tenderly arranged for SSAA and Piano or Orchestra by Mack Wilberg.This gentle arrangement of Thompson's original words and melody (1880) is ideal for upper-voice Choirs of all levels of experience. The melody is sympathetically treated with simple vocal harmonisations alongside unison singing reflecting the humble message of the text: 'Jesus is calling come home'. The accompaniment for Piano or small Orchestra creates a lush bed of sound over which the voices resonate.
