A Festival of Hymns (A Worship Celebration for Choir and Congregation) arr. Lloyd Larson
As the world slowly moves away from the height of the pandemic, Lloyd Larson believes that now, more than ever, is an appropriate time to come together as believers and celebrate our shared heritage of hymnody. Brimming with the time-honored hymns of our faith, Lloyd’s legendary creativity is on full display as he breathes new life into these timeless melodies.
“A Festival of Hymns” can be presented as either a seasonal or non-seasonal work, and a number of performance options are available, including an SAB choral version and an optional full orchestration from Ed Hogan. In addition to the sanctuary choir loft, we’re sure this moving ten-song work will also find a place in the folders of community choirs everywhere. Don’t miss this new celebration of worship from one our most gifted and respected writers!
Titles include: “Come, Christians, Join to Sing,” “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” “And Can It Be That I Should Gain?,” “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” “It Is Well with My Soul,” “Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine (with To God Be the Glory)” “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart,” and “Amazing Grace! How Sweet the Sound.”
