In his notes on the score, Stuart describes A Hymn for Band as a piece designed “to help develop a better band sound through the performance of a legato style.”

This quiet work was composed and published in 1985. Directors looking for improvement in tone quality, phrasing, and intonation will find much of value in this piece’s simple dignity and flowing melodies leading to a dramatic, full conclusion.
