Product Description
Three Blessings, Op. 14 is a suite in three movements for solo piano. Each movement is based on a verse in the bible as well as the doxology.
The first movement, in G major, is based on Psalm 34:8, "blessed is the one who takes refuge in him," which commands the disciple to trust the Lord and see that the Lord is good rather than fear him. A dialogue between the disciple and the Lord takes place in each section of the piece, as the motives are based on call and response.
The second movement, in B major, is based on the text from the doxology, "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow," which is represented through the use of the pedal and melodic content, as well as the peaceful mood.
The third movement, in C major, is based on Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice!" A recurring theme in the form of a minuet, a dance in 3, conveys the feeling of joy in the Lord, and to have complete faith in him.
This piece is dedicated to my church family at Severna Park United Methodist Church, who have helped me find myself once again through love and Christ. They have blessed me, so it is only natural that Jesus allows me to give my blessings unto him and unto you. In his gracious name, amen.
I. ...blessed is the one who takes refuge in him
II. ...from whom all blessings flow
III. Rejoice in the Lord always
