A Southern Harmony Concert Band - Digital Sheet Music
"A Southern Harmony" combines three old American folk hymns, found in the classic American hymnal "The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion," compiled by William Walker in 1835. The hymnal and its hymns are powerful examples of America's "shape note" musical tradition. The three pieces are "Holy Manna," "What Wondrous Love," and "Foundation," and all three are originally in a pentatonic scale. This piece for wind ensemble explores each melody, and, after a grand beginning and solemn middle, gallops to the end in a great fugue.
