Product Description
O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Text by Charles Wesley/Music by Ken Litton (ASCAP)
TTBB mixed voices, accompanied optional Flute/C intrument
The stanzas of the text are combined here and some of its expressions personalized in order to emphasize the confident prayer of praise. And though the music is a little more meditative than many tunes, it is still in keeping with the original expression that helped give rise to the hymn: Had I a thousand tongues, I would praise Him with them all!
After the piano and flute introduction, the new tune is lightly harmonized in both stanzas, but each has its own unique voicing at My gracious Master and You break the power, respectively. The brief flute/C instrument solo can add a lot to the piece, but an optional cut from the end of m.41 to m.59 and on to the key change could be offered in the score. After the key change the melody returns in unison, followed by a worshipful close.
