Words by Hic hy
EDWARD PERRONET ole Holoey
Arranged by Carol Tornquist
This arrangement uses the well-known hymn tune: CORONATION. Notice that the Intro. and the Transition are identical...
except for the last bar. In the transition (on the next page), the bar preceding the last verse uses 16th notes in the R.H. to give
a more dramatic effect, signaling that this is the final verse.

+ The first 3 bars keep “G” as the bass note (ostinato bass).
+ The L.H. (beginning in bar 28) has more movement and more rhythmic interest, which gives this last verse a more
dramatic effect.
* The chord progression has several “surprises”... especially from bar 35 through the end,

Since this classic hymn has 5 verses (at least!), the final verse definitely calls for some different harmonies! While the Intro.
sounds like the last phrase of the song, notice that the Transition is completely different. (This is a welcome change since
usually no verses are omitted!)

‘The Intro. is based on a combination of the first two bars of the chorus (“At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the
light...”) and the last two bars (“...And now Iam happy all the day”). These well-known melodic fragments let the ingers
know for sure which hymn they are about to sing. Notice that although the melody is familiar, the harmonies are not... which
adds musical “fresh air” from the very first note!

This hymn favorite is notated in compound meter, meaning that the notes that get the “beat” (8th notes) are in groups of 3.
‘The “9” in the time signature tells you that there are 9 beats/measure... although, at a moderately fast tempo, it “feels” like the
song has 3 beats/measure... or 3 groups af 3! Incidentally, in time a 2 bar Intro. is often enough to establish the “feel” of a
song. (You will notice that most songs in this folio are in simple meter, and have 4 bar Intros.)

Surely the most well-known Easter song of all, this hymn celebrating Christ's resurrection should always be played with
energy! Even though the Intro, doesn’t use the “note for note” melody, there is no doubt which hymn is about to be sung
because of the RH. rhythm established in the first 2 measures ([7 JJ J J). By the time the congregation hears the familise
melody of “Ai-le-” (Iu-ia) in the third measure, they should be ready to join you (with “gusto”) on the first note of the first
verse!

This familiar Christmas/Advent carol is one of the few songs in the hymnal with a time signature of 2/4, ‘The Intro. begins
with a familiar melodic “fragment” from the last phrase (“...heav'n and heav'n”). The Transition is similar to the Intro., but
changes harmony in the second measure, Notice that the R.H. ascending major scale in the second ending “signals” the

The Intro. to this familiar hymn begins on the upper register of the keyboard, which makes perfect sense with the “joyful”
sound of this timeless melody. ‘The Transition, however, (which also borrows from the last phrase of the song) uses L.H.
descending octaves to lead into the more dramatic lyrics of the final verse. (Since the last verse is usually sung at a somewhat
slower, broader tempo, you should observe the rallentando in bars 24 an 25.)

+ The use of chord inversions helps to achieve a smoother bass line than in the traditional version (which sometimes jumps
om one root position chord to another).
+ The traditional harmonization uses basically the I, IV and V chords in the key of Bb Major (Bb, Bb and F).. . while the
inal verse substitutes Iim7 (Cm7), Vim7 (Gm?) and more!

‘The gentle feel of this hymn is introduced by using the upper register of the keyboard in the first measure, In the Transition,
however, the melody remains in the middle register, although it is nearly identical otherwise to the Intro.

The Intro, begins with the first notes of the last phrase: “Sleep in. . .”, then repeats them an octave lower in the second bar
(which is in the actual vocal range of the singers). Because of the slow tempo, there really are 6 beats/measure in this classic
carol.

\e “toot” of each chord is B, adding the major 7 and the 6 is much more interesting than simply using the I chord for 2
