James Curnow: Fanfare prelude: O God our Help in Ages Past: String Ensemble: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!
