Disciples, Kneeling, At the Cross

Introducing “Disciples, Kneeling, at the Cross” – a powerful and moving brass band arrangement of “Am I a Soldier of the Cross” by Ira D Sankey and “At the Cross” by Darlene Zschech and Reuben Morgan.

The first song “Am I a Soldier of the Cross” is a 19th century hymn written by Ira D. Sankey. It is a powerful song that encourages believers to be steadfast in their faith, like soldiers in battle. It reminds us of the sacrifices we make as Christians, and our commitment to follow Jesus, even in the face of adversity.

The second song “At the Cross” by Darlene Zschech and Reuben Morgan is a modern worship song that reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. It is a reminder of the love and grace that God offers to all who believe, and a call to worship and surrender to Him. The song encourages people to leave their burdens at the cross and experience the freedom and forgiveness that can only come through Jesus.

Expertly arranged by Ben Clapton for a British style brass band, this piece was originally performed by the esteemed Melbourne Staff Band of The Salvation Army in 2013. The British-style brass band is the perfect ensemble to convey the emotions of the two songs combined, with its rich and powerful sound. The brass band adds a new dimension of emotion and power to these already moving songs.

Immerse yourself in the rich and uplifting sound of a brass band as they pay tribute to the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross. Perfect for church services, concerts, or any event where a powerful message of faith and devotion is needed. Experience the majesty and power of “Disciples, Kneeling, at the Cross” today! This arrangement is an excellent way to honour the sacrifice of Jesus and to remind ourselves of our commitment to follow Him. It is a powerful reminder of the love and grace that God offers to all who believe and it will leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Head & Heart – Joel Corry ft. MNEK

British DJ and producer Joel Corry produced an awesome hit with “Head and Heart”. Reaching number 1 in the UK, it was both Corry and vocalist MNEK’s first chart topper.

With such a catchy vocal hook, I thought this would work really well as a choral arrangement. However, some of the vocal flourishes went a bit high in the original key, so I included an alternate arrangement in C minor as opposed to F minor. The lower key necessitated some changes in the vocal lines, but it has meant a reduced vocal range that lends itself to school choirs.
