Product Description

Variations on a Theme by Crüger for String Orchestra has been arranged by Joseph I. Corporon. This seven movement arrangement is based on the Lutheran chorale tune, SCHMÜCKE DICH, composed by Johann Crüger in 1653, for a text written by Johann Franck, Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele. The tune name is the incipit of the original German text. SCHMÜCKE DICH is in bar form (AABC) with a lively syncopation in the third phrase. The text and the lively music of the hymn encourage the worshiper to prepare to receive Holy Communion, not solely as a memorial, but also as a celebration of God's grace.

The uplifting, energetic nature of SCHMÜCKE DICH make it an excellent chorale to explore musically. The seven movements are written in the style of a concerto grosso, with a String Quartet serving as the concertino, and the rest of the instruments as the ripieno.
