Extol (the Monson Harp Trio), including the arranger, performs The Church’s Firm Foundation.
$3.50 – $15.00
Gretchen Monson presents this medley of two sacred tunes – How Firm a Foundation and The Church’s One Foundation – arranged here for two pedal harps and one lever harp. It has a rhythmic folk accompaniment and change of meter in How Firm a Foundation. A minor reprise of The Church’s One Foundation in the middle leads to a key change for the last verse. The melody frequently switches between harps, and the accompaniment is rich and varied. (Also available in a version for three lever harps – Lever Version.) Scroll down to listen.

This is a very nice arrangement! It is not hard to learn or to put together as an ensemble. It sounds joyful and is fun to play. There are only a few places were the arrangement is awkward to play or buzzy. It would be helpful if the arranger would add fingerings.
