Product Description

My arrangement of the hymn tune Darwall ("Rejoice, the Lord Is King") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations. The structure of the piece consists of three different settings of the tune, separated from each other by a recurring segment that is rhythmically distinctive and displays decidedly modernist harmony. In the first setting the unadorned hymn tune is played by the left hand, while the right hand provides an accompaniment of rapidly repeated chords generating a strong sense of forward motion. The second setting, in a different key, is unified by a continuous stream of dotted eighth/sixteenth note rhythmic units. The third setting is similar to the first, but set in 12/8 rather than 4/4 meter. I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process. I enourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
