Mack Wilberg: Hymn Of Praise: Mixed Choir: Vocal Score

Paperback-This new composition by Mack Wilberg is a perfect example of the beauty of simplicity. Combining words from the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries the text of Thou lovely source of true delight portrays an affectionate yet powerful sense of reverent praise and wonder. Wilberg's music is the ideal match with an original tuneful hymn melody running throughout amid a variety of choral textures and dynamics all underpinned by affecting harmonies in the accompaniment.For SATB and organ or orchestra.

Praise the Lord! his glories show-This is a grand and exultant arrangement of the hymn tune 'Llanfair' and is presented with two text options: 'Hail the day that sees him rise' for use at Easter and 'Praise the Lord! his glories show' for the rest of the year. Wilberg has treated the melody in several ways including a four-part unaccompanied verse and a jubilant descant (optional); the accompaniment adds further triumphant colour with fanfares and scalic flourishes.

This refreshing dance-like arrangement of this traditional hymn speaks to the praise of God in all of creation. The first verse is sung in unison by the women and the second by the men. Verse three brings together all voices arranged in four parts. Suitable for general use throughout the liturgical calendar and particularly appropriate for Father's Day. Orchestral material is available on hire.
