Augsburg Fortress

Yu-Shan Tsai offers a beautiful arrangement of the beloved hymn by Philip Bliss and Horatio Spafford (ELW 785). At times gentle and at other times majestic, the expressive depth and beauty of this music is moving and inspiring. An elegant piano part features a dramatic cadenza before the final stanza.

A full score and set of parts for the sumptuous orchestration by Charles Forsberg is also available as a digital download. Instrumentation is as follows: winds in pairs, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani, chimes, harp, piano solo, chorus, and strings.
