Program Notes

An expressive fantasy based on the hymn, “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”. Huckeby’s sonorous and richly harmonized setting is an excellent vehicle for expanding your band’s ability to perform in a warm legato style while gaining an eloquent program piece.

For Thy Courts Above was commissioned by the Sardis Secondary School Band, Sardis, British Columbia, Canada, Janine McNicholl and Kevin Biegel, conductors in memory of Paul Jacob Brenner (1984-1999).
