Of all church hymns, a longstanding classic is the upbeat, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms by
A.J. Showalter. Written all the way back in 1887, I can still hear the choir and congregation belting out this wonderful hymn, while the piano and organ accompany them at full force. This arrangement for elementary band begins with the verse in a very laid-back, cantabile style. The chorus then joins in, led by snare drums in a stirring march style. Great moving lower brass lead all to a big broad ending. This piece is a perennial audience favorite, and one your group will enjoy performing time and again.
All parts are written within the range of young elementary grade musicians. To produce a full sound, many instruments double other instruments, i.e. Eb sax and French horn, low brass and tenor sax, flute and oboe.
Includes: Full score, flute, oboe, bells, Bb clarinet, Eb alto sax, tenor sax, (baritone horn), bass clarinet, French horn, Bb cornet, trombone (baritone horn), tuba, percussion.
