This traditional American tune has been arranged for flute trio. All three flutes have a turn at playing the melody while the other two harmonize. The arrangement starts in G major then moves to C major. Ideal for middle and high school players and also in any church worship service where this hymn is used. The full score includes three individual parts and some slurring has been added to the score, but as always, the slurring is suggested and you can use tour discretion to achieve the musical result you desire.
