Blessed Be the Name [Alf:00-24326]

Gospel fun! Tom Fettke has arranged Ralph Hudson's enduring 19th century hymn in a rousing gospel swing style, punctuated by blues harmonies and gospel rhythms. With each verse and refrain, God's praise builds to a fever pitch through a series of rising key changes. The driving finish features the choir in true gospel sound: the men singing the melody in unison, the women responding in 3-part harmony. This is a toe-tapping, hand-clapping gospel classic, with a terrific optional orchestration! InstruPax includes Master Rhythm and Master Percussion.
