Product Description
John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Massachusetts in in 1807. Beginning life as a farm boy and shoemaker, he eventually became a successful journalist, editor, and poet. As secretary to the American Anti-Slavery Society he was active in progressive causes. O Brother Man expresses his Quaker conviction that true worship expresses itself in action, and no other hymn text has quite so eloquently stated the case.
The tune Welwyn was composed in 1902 by Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, long-serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London and a successful composer. He wrote largely for voices and his music was intended primarily for amateur performers. Although he never composed professionally, his works were popular and well-regarded in their day. The name Welwyn was given this tune for his living place of Welwyn in Hertfordshire, England.
The present arrangement is for standard woodwind quintet, and includes an alternate bass clarinet part for ensembles lacking a bassoon.
