O Take My Hand, Dear Father. Composed by Friedrich Silcher. Arranged by Jacob De Haan. Musica Sacra. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2003. 86 pages. De Haske Publications #DHP 1033485-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1033485-010).

This celebrated song is based on a poem by Julie Hausmann (1826-1901), a Latvian teacher who was probably blind. The text draws on her personal experience and unshakeable faith in God, death and eternal life. The melody by Friedrich Silcher is written in a simple and delicate style but also draws on the grand romantic tradition of Wagner and Bruckner. This arrangement can also be performed with a mixed choir. The choir parts are in German.

Der Komponist Jacob de Haan hat sich mit dieser Bearbeitung für Blasorchester eines bekannten und beliebten Kirchenliedes angenommen. Der Inhalt des Liedes - blindes Gottvertrauen, das ewige Leben und ein Leben zu zweit - lassen eine Verwendung bei vielen kirchlichen Anlässen zu. Bezaubern Sie Ihre Zuhörer mit der stimmungsvollen Bearbeitung dieser schlichten, aber ergreifenden Melodie!
