CGA974 Fairest Lord Jesus (arr. Schalk)
Description
This simple, yet charming arrangement of the beloved hymn tune, ST. ELIZABETH, works well when little time is available for rehearsing a new anthem! The choir sings the first and third stanzas alone while choir and congregation sing the second and fourth stanzas together. Handbells and organ provide a gentle interlude between each stanza that ties the anthem together from beginning to end. A reproducible congregation part is also included for use in printed worship programs.
Voicing: Unison/Two-part with handbells (3 octaves), congregation, and organ
Composer: Schlesische Volkslieder (1842)
Arranger: Carl Schalk
Text: Munster Gesangbuch
