Product Description

My Variations on the hymn tune St. Elizabeth ("Fairest Lord Jesus") present the tune with an original harmonization followed by four variations.  The first two settings (Theme and Variation I) give out the tune in unaltered form, undergirded by two different harmonizations.  Variation II is a duo cast in baroque style with an ornamented melody accompanied by a rhythmically repetitive pattern in the manual bass.  In Variation III, a continuously moving accompaniment played by the feet and the left hand provides a backdrop to another ornamented version of the hymn tune, again in a somewhat baroque style.  The final variation is more challenging to play.  After a brief introduction, the tune appears in the soprano voice, harmonically supported by the alto and pedal bass, while the left hand provides a continuous stream of eighth-note triplets.  After a couple of modulations, the final section (marked "grandioso") presents the tune with a 4-voice harmonization punctuated at the end of each phrase by a trumpet-like rhythmic pattern played on a state trumpet stop.  I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process.  I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
