In The Sweet By and By – Joseph P. Webster

In The Sweet By And By is a traditional American hymn by Joseph P. Webster, and is a gospel standard. This arrangement is for string trio, with the middle part included in both treble and alto clef, allowing it to be performed by either two violins and cello or violin, viola and cello. The first verse is set as a sweet and gently melody. Arriving at the chorus, the tempo picks up and you can almost here a banjo and guitar picking the accompaniment. The overall tone is joyful. The piece finishes with a return to the gently sounds of the opening melody. Watch on YouTube HERE. Score, set of parts 16 pages.
