Stringpack-FANFARE PRELUDE: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST is based on the hymn-tune ?St. Anne ? which was used by G.F.Handel in the Chandos anthem ?O Praise the Lord ? and by J.S.Bach in his triple fugue in E-flat ?The St. Anne Fugue.? James Curnow?s FANFARE PRELUDE: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST captures the thoughts of this magnificent hymn which speaks of our country?s reliance upon God. The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted re-harmonizations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere.Inspired!
