When I Survey by Lynn Trapp, for Intermediate Organ 3-staff
Lynn Trapp has written a volume of hymn settings inspired by the celebrations of Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost. With the approach of noble simplicity and the accessibility of the organist in mind, the composer intended to weave his own spirituality of the Paschal season with the fragments and phrases of these well-known sacred tunes with the hope of conveying the tie that binds these holy seasons of lament, charity, salvation, and Spirit. Titles include: “The Glory of These Forty Days,” “What Wondrous Love Is This,” “All Glory, Laud, and Honor,” “Ubi Caritas,” “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” “Christ Is Arisen,” “Christ Is Alive,” and “Veni, Creator Spiritus.”
There Is a Green Hill by Alan MacMillan, for Intermediate Organ 3-staff
These pragmatic and expressive arrangements of familiar hymns will provide material for the Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter. Ranging from the inward character of Holy Week to the vibrant triumph of Easter, Alan MacMillan has created rich material for this most important time of the church year. Titles include: “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” “There Is a Green Hill Far Away,” “Man of Sorrows, What a Name,” “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna,” “He Is Risen!,” “This Joyful Eastertide,” and “Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise.”
