Here is part two of yesterday's article providing
a free choir/congregational arrangement of
When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.
I love dressing up the chorus with an alternate
melody that fits within the chords being used.
Please note: This arrangment does agree with
all four voice parts in the hymnal.
I'm unable to use chord substitutions to prevent
clashing with the written chords but I do add
chord extensions here and there.
A chord extension is created by adding another
third above the root chord.
For example, this song is in A flat Major.
The A flat chord = A flat, C and E flat (consecutive 3rds).
Well, add a minor third above the final note and you land
on G flat. It adds a rich flavor (oops!..I'm hungry so I have
food on the mind).

Called Up Yonder:
( I did play all four voice parts to give the full effect of
the added accompaniment).
