The four movements, titled “Prelude on WONDROUS LOVE,” “Ballad on BALM IN GILEAD,” “Scherzo on NETTLETON,” and “March on WILSON” are all American in origin. The third movement hymn, NETTLETON, is also known by the title “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” while the fourth-movement hymn, WILSON, is also known by the title “When We All Get to Heaven” or “Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus” in some hymnals.
Milburn’s contemporary presentations of the hymns preserve the energy, mood, and integrity of the originals, but they are presented in a manner that exploits the various qualities of the wind band.
American Hymnsong Suite is approximately eleven minutes in length. At the time of this writing, the work had just been approved for publication by the Neil A. Kjos Publishing Company.
