American Hymnsong Suite
Dwayne S. Milburn
American Hymnsong Suite is a four movement work inspired by Dwayne Milburn’s experiences as a church musician. The four hymns chosen for this suite include What Wondrous Love This Is, Balm in Gilead, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, and When We All Get to Heaven. By incorporating sounds of jazz, marching bands, and church chants, Milburn aims to introduce listeners to “the richness of our American musical heritage.”
