Something quite amazing, William Booth would be so proud, of what has been achieved.

Amazing piece of music and such superb playing. When I heard this live at Regent Hall, you could really feel the power of the music!! Awesome!!

It’s Late here in The Highlands of Scotland, I Will Comment more On This Tomorow, This has Cheered Me Up as I got Word today That My Brorther Passed away Earlier this Year, both of us Ex Salvationist’s. God Bless You All !!

[@yvonnefield9812]

This was played at Sale UK and the congregation were on our feet in praise and worship. Stunning.

[@AnnGerrish]

Same at Regent Hall a fantastic experience

[@estelleblake2224]

Agreed.

[@OhnoesJG]

That Sop at the end though... HATS OFF!

[@bjrinshore]

the Band Master not only conducts this one; he literally "channels" it for the glory of Almighty God. Maranatha!

[@douglasangus9609]

Wow, this Just Came Up on My Feed, This is Amazing, The Bandmaster & Band Are Clearly Feeling the Love of God & The “Holy Spirit” is Moving within Them.

[@MarcusHammarberg]

Powerful stuff! My favourite part is a toss-up between; the bandmaster singing, the drummer enjoying his fills or the second horn NAILING her runs throughout the piece Thanks NYSB - you are role models for modern banding; always brining a fresh perspective, a palpable sense of praise going to the Lord and wonderful music making.

[@andywheeler6683]

Wish I could’ve been there in person! Beautiful arrangement and delivery, family!!! I’m sure God was pleased with your worship.

[@felixagbenorto9801]

In fact the Salvation Army is blessed by music by God. I love it glory be to God !

[@Keithb99]

Wow! Just Wow! Thank you NYSB

[@peterhamlett4544]

[@familiaj2c357]

Beautiful performance, congratulações! Where can i by the arrangement of this music?

😍😍😍

[@kunsangabo]

How can i buy the sheet music ? dear @Fred Mbesi

[@ma77i7yahu]

Unfortunately you'd need to know the name of the arranger. That likely would have been in the pamphlet given on the night. The tune itself is called "How great" by Covenant Worship. I find that a fair amount of the music that the ISB and NYSB play don't appear to be published, which is a shame. They really should be available for purchase from Salvationist Publishing & Supplies and/or the Salvation Army Music Index.

[@janmuggli7083]

Who arranged this piece?

[@yannickmayala3421]

😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏

[@stephenargent4010]

Why does so much SA music of this type require noisy dramatic endings? What happened to that still small voice of calm? Anything to do with generating wild applause from the audience?

[@AnnGerrish]

Have you ever heard/seen this live ? If so you would feel God’s power coming through and touching everyone in the room amazing experience. The finale of a 45 minute selection called creation. Please NYSB show a recording of the whole piece

[@janmuggli7083]

There are a lot of pieces with calm ends 😉

[@stephenargent4010]

@@janmuggli7083 which is why I said ‘SA music of this type’

[@devingallop4385]

​@@stephenargent4010Why would you expect an arrangement of "How Great Thou Art" to not end exalting Him? It would be completely anti-climactic. There's tons of SA music being written that's more meditative out there. This one just happens to be loud and dramatic. Like for every one of Eric Ball's 'Serenity' there's a 'Kingdom Triumphant'.

[@stephenargent4010]

@@devingallop4385 that’s a fair point well made, I guess my frustration is that the SA is facing a crisis, the downward trajectory of numbers and impact ( despite the wonderful people who remain) seems terminal so a period of reflection might be more appropriate
