Composed by Text by George Croly, Music by Frederick C. Atkinson. Arranged by Daniel Steenson. Concert,Romantic Period,Sacred,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Daniel Steenson #4595275. Published by Daniel Steenson (A0.905641).Daniel Steenson's meditative setting of "Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart" highlights the lovely melodic contours and harmonic colors of this timeless hymn. This sacred-styled solo is a good supplement for moderately-advanced students who enjoy repertoire from the Romantic musical period. Pianists should listen for finesse in pedal use and be sensitive to melodic layering, especially when the hymn tune (MORECAMBE) lies inside the musical texture. Keep accompaniment "filler" material subdued so melodic and counter-melodic lines "sing" above the texture. Croly's poignant, prayerful hymn text set to Atkinson's sweet, sighful music always inspire heartfelt devotion and expressiveness from all generations who sing, play or listen to this beloved hymn.
