All Things,,, (concert band) Craig Andrew Fitzpatrick

'All things' for concert band, is a setting of the traditional tune 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. The melody, while undergoing quite a few variations and transformations, still remains true to the original lyric quality hymn tune. Initially, the hymn is fragmented and slowly is presented in larger pieces as the work progresses. At the climax of the piece a clear and exuberant presentation of the original tune can be heard. The piece then concludes by returning to where it began by fragmenting the melody again and fading into the distance.
