Duke Ellington, little given to expressing his relationship with the Church in his music, composed to the 66 Years a series of sacred concerts to premiere in U.S. churches. This interest arose after the death of his collaborator Billy Strayhorn. Between 1966 i 1974 Ellington made a tour with three sacred concerts, and combined old-fashioned old works, New local creations and soloists. The programs varied in each performance, Sense Ordre Fix or full score, And this forced him to improvise arrangements before each concert. This flexibility has made it difficult to reproduce, and has made some directors create their own versions. In 1993 John Høybye, As he did not find scores, fixed the material with Peder Pedersen and unified the three concerts in one. While the original version relegated the heart (by rehearsal limitations), This edition balances choir and orchestra. The resulting work is titled simply Sacred Concert. .
