Our anthem this week is Hymn 199 in the hymn book, If I have Been a Source of Pain. It is a very slow and sorrowful piece with an almost folk-like quality to the melody. I am using a couple of flute organ stops to maintain the folk-like quality in the accompaniment as well. I'm excited about our anthem tomorrow because the choir is doing a very good job expressing the text in this piece.
The prelude, offertory, and postlude are all contemporary piano arrangements both familiar and unfamiliar hymns.
