Highlight the lyrical warmth and spiritual depth of your ensemble with William Gordon’s beautiful arrangement of George Beverly Shea’s I’d Rather Have Jesus. This beloved hymn is treated with the utmost respect and musicality, focusing on the simple, singing quality of the melody. Gordon’s scoring provides a lush and cushioned accompaniment that allows the different sections of the band to showcase their melodic sensitivity. The work is a masterclass in the “slow air” style, requiring a soulful tone and delicate phrasing. It is an exquisite choice for a reflective moment in a religious service or as a heartwarming concert highlight, offering a message of faith and devotion through the medium of pure, lyrical brass.
