Glad Adoration uses the German hymn tune Lobe den Herren (more commonly known as Praise to the Lord, the Almighty) as its musical foundation. The piece opens with a very bold and dramatic statement depicting awesome power and majesty. It then moves into a more reflective and serene style with hints of various motifs from the hymn appearing at various places. The piece ends in a calm and peaceful style as we all eventually rest in peace. Correlated with Tradition of Excellence Book 3, page 20.

About Tradition of Excellence: Excellence in Performance

Excellence in performance is a concert band repertoire series correlated with the Tradition of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method by Bruce Pearson and Ryan Nowlin. The compositions in the series correlate to a specific page in Tradition of Excellence Books 1, 2, or 3 and reinforce and expand on skills and concepts introduced in the method.

/Selections include exciting parts for every player, grade-appropriate cross-cueing, accessible ranges and rhythms, creative percussion writing, electric bass and rehearsal piano parts, and full conductor scores with rehearsal suggestions, program notes and composer biographies. In addition, the Grade 1 works provide an Advanced Snare Drum part for percussionists who have achieved a higher level of ability, playable simultaneously with the more basic Snare Drum part to facilitate differentiated learning.
