Shall We Gather at the River
This arrangement combines the talents of two very gifted composers. The anthem is set in a gentle, folk-like way with a substantial organ accompaniment and a lyrical flute obbligato. It culminates with a stately treatment of the last stanza and chorus and then ends slowly and expressively. A full orchestration of the accompaniment is also available. This will become a favorite of many congregations. (Note: a single handbell may be substituted for organ chimes)
