The final statement of the theme is combined with the melody in the introduction to create a bold, contrapuntal passage that leads to a brief coda. Audiences will enjoy this tender arrangement of a gorgeous hymn.

Estimated Performance Time: 2:10

Technical Notes: The percussion part is marked for snare drum, bass drum, and crash cymbals.

This final statement of the theme is combined with the melody of the introduction to create a bold, contrapuntal passage. The introductory theme serves as the basis for a brief coda at the conclusion of the arrangement.
