Added by crosby3145, 27 Aug 2016 This majestic setting of O Worship the King is perfect for a prelude, offertory, special, postlude, or other use in a church service. One thing that struck me when I arranged it was the similarly between this tune (probably by Haydn’s brother) and a tune from the second movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. I try to make this similarity very apparent in the fourth run-through of this hymn. I don’t have a tempo marking listed for measure 82, but don’t go too fast! In fact, go as slowly as you need to play the notes well, and you may even want to go slower. The second movement of a symphony is always slow, and the way this part of the piece is arranged, it should be too. This arrangement isn’t too difficult (compared with others; I don’t know how hard it is for you personally), but if you need to make it a little easier, you can always just play the top notes of the octaves from 82-97. Also, you can just play a quarter note in the left hand at m. 81, instead of doing the tremolo. However, if you’re good enough to play the piece as written, play it all as-is to produce the full effect. I hope you enjoy this arrangement! |
