Sound The Battle Cry
$29.95“Sound the Battle Cry” was written by William Fisk Sherman (1826-1888) and published in Bright Jewels (1869). This energetic arrangement reflects the rousing call to action of the lyrics:
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud, Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng. -
Battle Victorious
$65.00Written in the traditional sonata form this tone poem depicts the spiritual battle of the Christian against the powers of evil. The first theme of Sound The Battle Cry serves as a call to arms. The second theme shows preparation by way of the cross with Lead Me To Calvary. Suddenly, the Development section thrusts the themes into battle using devices such as the fugue, stretti, imitation, inversion, and augmentation. As with the promised victory, the themes reappear together in a glorious Recapitulation. Eph. 6:11.

Sound The Battle Cry
$6.00An upper level violin solo with piano, the piece demands the use of many melodic embellishments making it very rhapsodic in nature–it is rather millitant in its portrayal.
