Review:
Perfect for an All-Saints celebration, Reformation Sunday, or any time, this setting of "A Mighty Fortress" by Sondra Tucker is a powerful rendition of a favorite hymn. The first verse is presented in primarily straightforward fashion, while the second verse add variety with syncopation and thumb damps. A key change and a broader tempo usher in the final, grand verse. The trumpet part is included on the back page of the score. 89 measures in length, this piece is scored in Bb Major and C Major.
