Program Notes
Written in 1949 and performed by the BBC Orchestra in August of that year at a Promenade Concert, Fantasia on the Alleluia Hymn is a resplendent setting of the 17th century hymn tune Lasst Uns Erfreuen, commonly paired with the hymn All Creatures of Our God and King. The full spectrum of musical emotion is displayed in this stellar work, which leads the listener from quiet introspection to unbridled joy as it unfolds. A frequently programmed concert and contest selection in its original orchestral scoring, the work has now been made a part of the concert band repertoire, thanks to the kind permission of Stainer & Bell, Ltd.
This arrangement is respectfully dedicated with deep appreciation and affection to Dr. John K. Colbert, consummate musician, mentor, and friend, in celebration of his 90th birthday. The premiere performance was presented by the Butler University Wind Ensemble, conducted by Dr. Daniel Bolin, at the American Bandmasters Association convention on March 3, 2012.
