Product Description
This arrangement of "In The Sweet By and By" was written in response to the sudden
and unexpected passing of a member of a choir with which I had recently worked.
This close-knit choir has a very long and rich history of singing challenging
literature in worship every Sunday.
This particular choir member was very gracious with her time and always opened her
home for large get togethers after the biannual Cantata. On the rare occasion that she missed
rehearsal, I always found her on Sunday lightly playing her part on the piano
before anyone would arrive. The beginning single line piano introduction of the piece is a nod
to her diligence in learning her part so she wouldn't let the group down. The piece
ends with the single piano line returning playing "We shall meet on that beautiful shore",
a gentle reminder that life is short and greater things await those who place their trust
in Christ as their Savior.
This SAB arrangement is well suited for adult choir but also would work well with a
Junior High choir, honoring the passion she had working with the conrmands at her local church.
