The tune for Hark, the Glad Sound is sometimes called Richmond but is most commonly known as Chesterfield. The first phrase of the hymn, Hark, the glad sound! The Savior comes, is a perfect expression of the Advent and Christmas seasons. This arrangement explores a simple, yet varied, treatment of the melody with stopped sounds that add contrast in the middle section.
