I Have Decided To Follow Jesus
Intended for students with one or more years of playing experience, this arrangement features a very interesting but not difficult countermelody for low instruments, and will sound full even with a minimum of players. The main theme is featured twice, first in concert Bb with the melody in treble parts, and then in concert Eb with melody in lower instruments, along with a creative obbligato for upper instruments.
