By Stacey Plays Hymns. By Henry Francis Lyte / Stacey Plays Hymns. Arranged by Anastace. Christian,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 2 pages. Anastace #905338. Published by Anastace (A0.1316617).
Here is the lead sheet version of “The Leaves Around Me Falling”, as heard on my YouTube channel and in many funeral playlists. This version is in F minor to match the original recording, and has all the exact chords and inversions. It works well as a solo or congregational song for any autumn or funeral service, featuring the meaningful lyrics of Henry Francis Lyte reminding us of the swiftness of this life, and the hope we have for the life beyond.
The original hymn was very beautiful but I thought a minor setting would be more fitting for the solemn lyrics, so I wrote an entirely new melody and harmonic arrangement, which can be found on all streaming platforms as well as Youtube, where lyric videos of this and other songs are readily available for church or personal use.
Not just a hymn for September and October, I've found myself going back to this song often, as it captures the rich beauty and yet sadness of the autumn season, and still somehow brings comfort amidst the fast-changing seasons of the earth and of our lives. I hope you also are blessed by this song and arrangement!
Also available, by searching "Stacey Plays Hymns" and the song title on this site, are the following versions:
Piano and Vocal in E Minor for easier playing [vocal range A3-A4] Piano and Vocal in A Minor for higher voice [vocal range D4-D5] Lead Sheet Version in F Minor [vocal range Bb3-Bb4, same as this one] Lead Sheet Version in E Minor for easier playing [or a guitar on capo 1 to match original]
For other formats including large print, different vocal ranges, or extended choral SATB versions, please write me at staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one church service with under 300 people, with proper attribution and credit in any printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.
Thank you for supporting modern hymnwriters and musicians!
