Story:
"Sabbath Day" (Spring 2001, Spring 2006)
A funny thing happened on the way through my uncompleted compositions...my "favorite hymn" selection changes every month or two, and "Sabbath Day" was my preferred around the time Amber and I were married. At the time, I sat down quickly and wrote the beginning of what I wanted to be a great TTBB arrangement of the hymn. Of course, it was never finished and sat in a binder for almost five years. Pulling it out one recent Sunday, I realized it was just fine with the harmonies written so long ago...so it was finished after all! This is a very simple arrangement, good for quartets that are just starting out.
