Product Description

What Wondrous Love Is This is arranged here for an Intermediate SAB (soprano, alto, baritone) Choir with a piano accompaniment. This American Christian hymn is taken from William Walker's Southern Harmony (1835), a shape note hymnal. The lyrics of the hymn were first published in 1811 and the melody is older with sources referring to various origins. Four verses are sung in this arrangement building from a quiet presentation of the melody and lyric theme to a victorious ending. Each of the following verses builds on the melody and seeks to replicate musically the meaning of the lyrics which are particularly appropriate for Lent and Easter. A separate sheet is provided for the voices along with a score. The close harmony of the voices in this arrangement also make it suitable and inspiring for singing a cappella.
