Brethren, We Have Met to Worship

“Brethren, We Have Met to Worship” is one of the oldest published American folk hymns; the tune comes from “Holy Manna,” a pentatonic melody dating back to 1829, and the lyrics were written by George Atkins in 1819. This arrangement for jazz vespers ensemble sets this beloved hymn in a latin groove. Technical demands are modest, and your band will love playing this!
