Product Description
In 2003 my church asked me to transcribe and orchestrate Steven Curtis
Chapman's hauntingly beautiful "Our God Is With Us" for
use in their annual Christmas program. If you are unfamiliar with this
song, or it's been a while since you thought of it, you can hear his
rendition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzTRNx5RP00
This
PDF contains the tenor solo, the choir background vocals, a simple rhythm
chart in which some of the exposed piano licks are written out, a complete piano part, and
supplemental parts for a string section, flute, oboe (opt. flute 2),
two clarinets, an alto sax, two Fr. hns., and a trombonethe ensemble that I was working with that year. And as
always, a C score is provided, which allows a keyboardist to cover for
missing instruments, e.g., a live string section.
The demo is a computer-generated excerpt starting about ms. 46 of the score (and missing the rhythm section), but the overall arrangement is very close to the
SCC recording linked above. Duration: approx. 6:30. The purchase price allows you to
duplicate as many copies as needed for your choir and orchestra.
It
has been my lifelong passion to provide fresh, yet accessible music
for
the churches and schools with whom I have been associated. Because of
the slowdown caused by Covid-19, I
finally have the time to start posting 45 years' worth of custom
arrangements on Sheet Music Plus. If you are curious about what else is
available, please navigate to my publisher page here on SMP

or slip over to Facebook

where you can
see and hear more published works.
Thanks for your interest! If you
perform any of my material and are able to produce a high-quality mp3 recording or a video, please
send it to me at leathmus@aol.com. If it's something that I can use as a demo on
SMP or Facebook, I'll refund your purchase price and give credit where credit is due!
God bless!
