In this original music set to the familiar text, the words flow in a wonderfully expressive and natural fashion. The French horn adds a lyrical counterpoint of rising notes to evoke the hope and comfort of the hymn. Treble Instrument in C or B-flat (high or low) may also be used. The accompaniment is intended for piano, but is not so idiomatic that it couldn't be adapted for organ without a lot of stress. |
