| Added by crosby3145, 03 Oct 2019 One of our favorite hymns to sing at Northgate Baptist Church in Norman, Oklahoma, is Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus. There have been many times where I've been sitting at the piano, and our songleader has called out number 432. The problem is, he doesn't mean this piece when he calls out 432. He means the other tune, 433, and if you start playing this one, he'll sing 433 anyway. After a couple awkward incidents, the pianist gets it down and reads his mind, but it's rather ironic... This may be the wrong tune at Northgate, but unlike a lot of hymns with two or more tunes, there's not a clear winner in the popularity department. Lots of people sing the one by Webb (which I intend to arrange next), and lots of people sing the one by Geibel, presented here. Most hymnals include both, something they rarely do for any others. The reason for this is probably that they're both great--I must confess, I don't have a favorite myself. For whatever reason, this hymn took me three days to arrange, plus two more to proofread. I'd been listening to a ton of piano recitals the day I started it, so the arrangement I did is definitely Liszt-inspired. However, it's a melody that works well in Liszt's style, and I hope I've been able to show some of what that Hungarian master would have done had he decided to arrange this piece. As always, I hope you enjoy it! | |||
