Abide With Me

Abide with Me - Robert Levy

Abide With me - William Henry Monk

This arrangement of "Abide with me" slightly differs from the traditional representation of the hymn.The piece has a majestic introduction based on elements from and around the hymn. Furthermore, the theme is presented in a more familiar way. The ending then reverts to the expression from the opening.This arrangement may fit in many concert programs, but is perhaps ideally suited for church concerts.

Abington Ridge - Ed Huckeby

Ed Huckeby's Build-A-Band version of his Abington Ridge is a spirited contest piece that has just the right combination of changing meters and syncopation to make it a must for your next festival or concert. This version makes this wonderful composition playable by very small bands and it will sound great as long has you have the four parts covered. Optional percussion and keyboard parts can add to the overall effect. Highly recommended.
