SKU: PL.0504

Composed by Austin C. Lovelace. Parish. Choral, General, Hymn. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0504. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0504).

* joyful, early American style, based on the folk hymn "Fairfield" from Southern Harmony, 1835 * largely two-part setting: great choice for parish choirs * simple accompaniment to enhance and enliven the verse- anthem setting of this well-known text by one of Paraclete's most beloved composers

This setting of the Southern Harmony tune, Fairfield keeps its folk quality in apite of being accompanied throughout its treen stanzas. The tree-part writing allows for a more transparent texture and a generous application of unison writing allows for an appropriately rhythmic feel. The John Mason text, "How Shall I Sing that Majesty?" is appropriate for All Saints'. - "Cross Accent" August 2005.
