Arrangement of the Christian Hymn "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" by Amy Gabbitas for Oboe, Clarinet in Bb and Bassoon. Digital product distributed by Robert Gabbitas Music. Published 2 September 2024.
From the Arranger:
My early musical years were strongly influenced by my great-aunt, Janie Thompson. She spent most of her career producing large variety shows with singing, dancing and playing instruments. Part of her efforts included arranging songs to make them fit time allotments. She often mashed up melodies from several songs that shared a common theme. You will hear that influence in this arrangement. I was first introduced to "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" shortly after my husband joined the Navy. He was asked to sing this hymn at an official function. My task was to teach him all four vocal parts while on a long drive. The harmonies are beautiful and mix well with the comforting words. You will also hear snippets of several other patriotic songs.
