Description
Charles Hutchinson Gabriel's famous Gospel song (The Glory Song) is expanded here, in that the ends of each line pause
and find echoes in each of the other instruments, in order to create expectant cadences.
On the repeat the main melody is taken by the tenor sax while the others move round.
