Description
SKU: A0.1431445
Composed by William Croft (1678-1727). Arranged by Todd Marchand. Christian,Sacred. 22 pages. Con Spirito Music #1007710. Published by Con Spirito Music (A0.1431445).“O Worship the King” is a free paraphrase of Psalm 104 (largely verses 1-13 and 24-33) by Sir Robert Grant (1779-1838), an Anglo-Indian lawyer who served as a member of Parliament as well as Governor of Bombay. Influenced by William Kethe's paraphrase of the same psalm, Grant's “O Worship the King” first appeared in Edward Bickersteth’s Christian Psalmody (1833) and later appeared in a posthumous volume of Grant’s work, Sacred Poems (1839), edited by his brother Charles.
Grant's text includes six verses; many hymnals abbreviate it, leaving off the concluding one. This arrangement, employing the tune HANOVER by William Croft (1678-1727), includes music for verses 1-5, and may be furthered abbreviated to four by eliminating the repeat on verses 1-2.
Following an introduction that contrasts short melodic fragments with answering flourishes, the arrangement proceeds as follows:
• Verses 1-2: organ accompaniment
• Verse 3: brass accompaniment
• Verse 4: organ accompaniment with trumpet countermelody
• Interlude — organ and brass
• Verse 5: organ and brass accompaniment with alternate harmonization
• Coda — all
The timpani part may be excluded if no timpani are available.
