Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Ms. Dobrinski chose to set the NETTLETON tune for her commission for the 25th anniversary of CHURCH MUSIC EXPLOSION. The piece works well for 3, 4 or 5-octaves of choirs and performance notes are given for each octave. The character marking is energetic, sparkling and is achieved through use of marts, pluck, TD and strong chordal movement. There are some harmonic surprises as the music moves along and a minor rendering of the melody. True or False: The ending is big and fortissimo. (You guessed correct)!
