| Ajoutée par crosby3145, 24 Avr 2022 After arranging every hymn in Great Hymns of the Faith for piano solo, I've moved on to Soul-Stirring Songs & Hymns (1972 edition). The last one in that one is the Hallelujah Chorus, probably one of the most famous songs in praise of God, but also not one you typically hear sung in church by a congregation. I'm guessing it was mainly intended for choirs, as this hymnal also has some other hymns that seem more intended for the professional musicians than just the typical congregant. However, I've been reading a book about John R. Rice, the editor of the hymnal, and apparently, he and his family used to enjoy singing this with each other at family gatherings. I guess if you and a few others practice it enough, you don't need an actual choir to sing it! In arranging this for piano, I thought long and hard about Liszt and the way he used to arrange pieces not normally written for the instrument. Some of his arrangements, like the Tannhauser Overture, are transcriptions - in other words, they try to reproduce on piano exactly what the other instruments played - cover every note, or at least as many as you can, without changes. However, other of his arrangements add creativity - they change the accompaniment, add pianistic flourishes - that sort of thing. Reminisces de Norma is a better example of this sort of arrangement. Well, this one probably falls somewhere in the middle of the two. It's exactly the same length as the original, keeping all the melodic highlights - with the exception of an ending that I added, as long, sustained notes don't sound as good on piano as they do with a choir. However, while the chords are the same, and the melody's kept, I didn't try to put every part in the arrangement, and I added some pianistic flourishes. The result, I hope, is something that has the same effect as the original but also sounds full, rich, and complete, in spite of the fact that it is now being played by one person on a piano instead of with a choir and orchestra. I hope you enjoy it! Partition centrale : | Messiah (191 partitions) | | |||
