Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. John Burkett #936862. Published by John Burkett (A0.1352033).My Prelude on the hymn tune Eventide ("Abide with Me") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations. A quiet introduction intones the first few notes of the hymn tune, leading to a complete statement of the melody accompanied by an arpeggiated chordal pattern. This is followed by a noticeably more dramatic ornamented restatement of the melody, replete with descending arpeggios, leading to a bold declamation of the first phrase in the distant key of C-Flat major. The drama subsides, however, when a decrescendo leads to an unanticipated and quietly inconclusive cadence. The piece then ends with a hushed varied recurrence of the initial introduction. I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process. I encourage 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.
