When I Survey the Wondrous Cross - Ellis 4-Part - Sheet Music

SATB choir

SKU: BP.BP1512

Composed by Rob Ellis. Arranged by Rob Ellis. Sacred octavos. Sacred. Octavo. Beckenhorst Press #BP1512. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.BP1512).

6.75 x 10.25 inches.

Beckenhorst Press welcomes Rob Ellis to our choral catalog with this fine setting of When I Survey The Wondrous Cross. Set to a mournful tune, Isaac Watt's words take on a new meaning while the oboe comments with minor statements of the beloved melody, Hamburg, in each interlude. We reach familiar territory in the final verse when Mr. Ellis switches from minor to major modality, adds congregation and leads us in a powerful statement of Hamburg.

Excellent setting of classic hymn text
My choir loved singing this piece and the response from the congregation was extremely positive. It's an excellent alternative to the wonderful Gilbert Martin setting of the same text. This setting is extremely doable for a relatively small choir, the only real challenge being the last two pages where the harmony becomes a bit chromatic. This is within reach of most choirs with adequate rehearsal though. Highly recommended.
