Title: Overture On A Hymn Tune
Voicing/Format: Concert Band
Publisher: Hal Leonard Publishing Corp
Composer: Vinson, Johnnie
Catalog #: 04003197

Price: $50.00

Overture on a Hymn Tune is based on "The Old Ship of Zion," found in the early American Sacred Harp songbook. Johnnie Vinson uses a fast-slow-fast overture format to give this wonderful meloday an appealing setting with plenty of variety and musicality. The slow middle section is a rhapsodic treatment of the main melody, while the two fast segments offer appealing and upbeat settings sure to be enjoyed by all. Skillfully scored to sound full with inexperienced players.
