Lead Me Home
Chorale On An Old American Gospel Hymn
Info
Composer James L.Hosay drew the inspiration for “Lead Me Home” from a 19th century American gospel hymn. The exceptional depth of traditional gospel music, touching our hearts, is wonderfully shared in this moving composition for concert band. James L.Hosay begins with a presentation of the melody in warm, dark sounds; during the piece it becomes more and more bright and festive. This musical development symbolizes the power of hope, which thanks to gospel music can arise even in the darkest hours.
