Here is a powerful arrangement of this great Reformation hymn. Both the choral writing and the orchestration have a wonderful energy and breadth, yet they're deceptively easy to perform. A very moving piece.

The anthem, while exciting and sounding rather complex, is really quite simple to conquer. Students and some adult choirs will enjoy this arrangement very much and will have this one in their hip pockets as an anthem standby whenever needed.

The Bottom Line

Pros
Great text, contemporary musical treatment
Cons
None noted ... careful not to oversing it
