All Glory Be to God on High - Allein Gott in der Hoh' sei Ehr
This German hymn tune is originally attributed to Nicolaus Decius (c. 1485-after 1546), and has here been set and arranged for brass band and optional choir (English and German text) by Jacob de Haan. A perfect work for church concerts!
Jacob de Haan begins his arrangement of the well-known hymn Allein Gott in der Höh’ sei Ehr (All Glory Be to God on High) with a quotation from his own Missa Katharina, a mass for choir, soprano, and band. To this melody he sets the Latin text from the last part of the Gloria. The chorale is then heard after an interlude and can, at the director’s discretion, be accompanied by the choir singing in either German or English. A perfect work for church concerts.

Chorale Prelude BWV 643 Bach's calm, quiet masterly setting of this hymn is a complete experience in itself. This is the original version of the Chorale used by Hindemith in the Coda of his Trumpet Sonata.

Jacob de Haan arranged the famous piece Amazing Grace for four-part variable ensemble, which may be complemented with percussion. With this intrumentation, it is possible to play the piece with almost any combination of instruments.The piece opens with the song theme, which after a modulation, flows into an intermezzo, characterized by a free interpretation of the theme. The interlude reaches a climax introducing the finale where the melody can be heard once again in all its beauty.
Klaas van der Woude has based his arrangement An Old Swedish Hymn on an old pastoral hymn from Dalarna. This beautiful melody even attracted ABBA as they used it as the opening music for some of their concerts. Van der Woude’s arrangement is in classical style making it suitable for any occasion.
