Product Description

My Prelude on the hymn tune Materna ("O Beautiful for Spacious Skies") is intended for church pianists looking for interesting arrangements of hymns familiar to their congregations. Three statements of the tune convey three entirely different moods. The first is in G-flat major and creates an ethereal mood with its accompaniment of glissandi scales in the upper range of the keyboard. The second is a straightforward duo with a flowing scalar accompaniment in the key of F major. A bridge section gradually increases the rhythmic pace, while simultaneouly increasing the dynamic level to fortissimo. This sets the tone for the final grandiose statement in B-flat major with the melody played in octaves in the bass below a rapid scalar accompaniment in the right hand. The expected bombastic conclusion is subverted by a rising whole-tone scale in G-flat marked subito piano. The final phrase returns to the key and mood of the beginning with its upwardly rising glissandi. 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.
