Smith INSTRMENTATION ROGRAM NOTES "Eternal ather, Strong to Save" is a hymn traditionally associated ith seafarers and, in articular, the maritime armed services. Comosed in by William Whiting and ohn B. Dykes, the hymn as insired by the dangers of the sea described in salm 107. It became oular in the late 1800s through the nited States Navy and Britain s Royal Navy. This arrangement by Robert W. Smith as remiered in earl Harbor, Haaii, as art of the 75th Anniversary of the attack on earl Harbor and the gathering of heroes from around the orld in December of Beginning ith the toll of the shis bell in tribute to those that that lost their lives on that fateful day, the beautiful hymn follos in a solemn and reverent setting. The shi s bell returns during the final amen and tolls into the distance reminding us of the incredible sacrifices of our Greatest Generation. NOTES TO CONDCTOR The shi s bell (or chimes) should be laced for otimum audio resence. If a true shi s bell is used, lease stage the instrument for visual imact as ell. The hymn should be as as ossible. Deending uon the ensemble and erformance setting, feel free to interret as rubato as you feel aroriate. Strive for ensemble balance throughout. I have scored the hymn to be as arm and lush as ossible. lease note the dynamic shaing as the hymn concludes ith the IV-1 amen harmonic resolution. The shi s bell should toll resolutely into the distance. This setting of Eternal ather, Strong To Save as ritten as a relude to The Greatest Generation, a salute to heroes that served during World War II. You may ish to consider rogramming both the hymn and The Greatest Generation as art of your atriotic rogram. In addition, the hymn serves as a onderful arm u chorale for use throughout the year.
