Product Description
Humbly I Adore Thee is a eucharistic, or communion, hymn with text by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274).
The origin of the melody, Adoro te Devote, is unclear. In some places it is simply described as a Gregorian chant; in others as a 13th-century Benedictine plainsong; in others as a French church melody published in the Paris Processionale (hymnal or liturgical manual) of 1697. Regardless, it is a lovely, flowing tune well-suited for the legato singing capabilities of the trombone, euphonium, or cello.
In this arrangement, the soloist plays the tune through on the first verse in D major, adds a descant over the melody played by keyboard in the second verse and, following a short modulation, recapitulates the tune in the concluding key of G major.
