Great Is Thy Faithfulness

A completely new setting of the traditional hymn text to the tune STAR IN THE EAST.  A unison opening verse followed by a straight-forward four-part harmonization of the chorus establishes the basic structure of the piece.  Thereafter, successive verses utilize canon and mirrored counterpoint to great effect, eventually culminating in a climactic a cappella chorus.  A quick, banjo-inspired piano accompaniment provides excitement throughout, while the sturdy, rustic tune gives a palpable sense of strength and “faithfulness.”  A very enjoyable sing for the choir.  With optional fiddle and string bass, or full string ensemble. This score has optional musical accompaniment available (Solo Violin, Violin I & II, Viola, Cello, String Bass). To get these parts, contact [email protected]
