Description
The powerful and soul-stirring Traditional spiritual “Were You There?” is presented in a poignant and beautifully crafted arrangement by Paul Curnow. Focusing on the profound emotional depth of the melody, this setting utilizes the rich, warm sonorities of the brass band to create an atmosphere of intense reflection. Paul Curnow’s professional orchestration moves from a hushed, reverent opening to a resonant and heart-warming climax, showcasing the ensemble’s capacity for exceptional tonal balance and controlled phrasing. This is an essential selection for church services (particularly during Lent and Easter), memorial events, or as a moving concert favorite, providing a professional and deeply resonant musical experience.
