Description
All things . . . for concert band, is a setting of the traditional tune All Things Bright and Beautiful. The melody, while undergoing quite a few variations and transformations, still remains true to the original lyric quality hymn tune. Initially, the hymn is fragmented and slowly is presented in larger pieces as the work progresses. At the climax of the piece a clear and exuberant presentation of the original tune can be heard. The piece then concludes by returning to where it began by fragmenting the melody again and fading into the distance.
Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, All Things: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

More about this title
Why we love this
Fitzpatrick transforms a beloved hymn tune into something fresh without stripping away its essential character. The gradual architecture of the piece, building from fragments to a triumphant full statement and back again, gives your ensemble a rewarding arc to shape, and Grade 2 players can execute it convincingly.
What to expect
A journey inward and outward. The music begins quietly and impressionistically, gradually assembling itself into something radiant and whole, then gently dissolves back into quietness. It feels both contemplative and celebratory.
Who it's for
Directors working with developing bands who need a piece that honors a recognizable melody while offering genuine musical substance. Grade 2 ensembles will find this accessible yet rewarding, and audiences will connect immediately to the familiar tune.
How to get the most out of it
- Treat the early fragmentary sections as puzzle pieces. Each entrance should feel intentional and slightly separate, not rushed together. This clarity makes the eventual full presentation land with real impact.
- At the climax, resist over-speeding the tempo in excitement. The original tune is hymnic, and its power comes from steady, singing tone rather than urgency.
- Shape the final fade carefully. The return to fragmentation needs to feel like a conscious choice to dissolve, not like the piece is running out of steam.
How to use it
This works beautifully as a concert centerpiece for a mid-year or spring program, especially in settings where tradition and contemporary interpretation matter equally. It also makes a strong festival selection because the emotional architecture is clear and the hymn tune gives it immediate cultural resonance.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining long, singing lines while maintaining clarity in fragmentary passages
- Sectional balance across varying orchestrations as the tune is passed through different instruments
- Phrasing and shape development in a piece that rebuilds itself progressively
- Controlled dynamics in both sparse and full textures
