<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: medium;">
Original harmonization: REGENT SQUARE<br />
<br />
Voices United #36 is "Angels, from the Realms of Glory," to Henry Smart's tune <i>Regent Square</i>. I've played some of Smart's organ music, and I quite like it. Not going to win any awards for shocking the establishment or rocking the public, but it's still solid music.<br />
<br />
So I set it in 5-part harmony, SSATB. The second soprano and alto toss the melody back and forth a bit, but it's all there.<br />
<br />
So here's the thing I made. PDF link in caption.<br />
<br />

<div style="font-size: medium;">
Original harmonization: IN DULCI JUBILO<br />
<br />
At #35 of Voices United we find the famous Christmas tune, "In sweet celebration," most commonly used with the words "Good Christian Men/Friends, Rejoice," <i>In Dulci Jubilo</i> has a setting here for three-part women's voices, although it needn't be so restrictive as that. It's set with melody in the lower staff and two-part harmony in the upper staff, but the voices cross one another regularly and readily.<br />
<br />
As usual, click the caption for a PDF download.<br />

<br />
Another old German tune, with a text ("O Lord, How Shall I Meet Thee") that is a translation by Catherine Winkworth of words by Paul Gerhardt which make up the last Advent selection that I'll be reharmonizing in Voices United (#31).<br />
Maybe if this mess lasts long enough, I'll get around to the Advent section of another hymnal. We'll see.<br />

Original harmonization and fauxbourdon: CRÜGER<br />
<br />
Since we're still in Advent, we have "Hail to the Lord's Annointed," with the tune <i>Crüger</i>, #30 in the Voices United hymnal. So, to avoid getting too tired of just writing harmonies, I gave it new harmony and a fauxbourdon treatment - the melody's down in the tenor.<br />

<i>Richmond,</i> to the text of "Hark the Glad Sound" at #29 in the Voices United hymnal, gets a... well, un-glad harmony. Thought I'd minor-key the tune, without thinking about the words, but hey, whatever, the text isn't the exercise!<br />

And we're back. From no accidentals, to as many as I can cram in to twelve bars, give or take. Still in Advent, this is #28 from Voices United, "Herald, Sound the Note of Gladness," and that note might be any one of the twelve, really. The tune is <i>Neander</i>, and it's a solid tune. The range makes writing harmonies for it a challenge sometimes.<br />

<br />
Forgive me, for I have sinned, and have written a Baroque tune with post-Romantic chromaticism (See previous post). As penance, I have adopted modalism and taken Voices United Hymn #25, "Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending," to the tune <i>Helmsley</i>, in Renaissance modality.<br />
<br />
Eh, kind of.<br />
<br />
There are here no accidentals, and the only tonality required is the final cadence. Because I wanted a challenge, and limiting one's self to seven of the twelve available notes and somewhat awkward voice-leading is a challenge for me.<br />
<br />
So here's all that stuff I did. Link to a PDF in the caption.<br />

<br />
So if your harmony parts get bored with their time in isolation...<br />
Voices United #20 is "On Jordan's Bank," to the tune <i>Winchester New</i>, and you might be asking what happened to #s 10 through 19, well, they're all either text-only, or modern tunes that are still in copyright, so I'm not too worried about them<br />
<br />
This was just one of those, I kind of looked at it and said, "This needs some weird chromaticism." So now it has it.<br />

Here's the thing. PDF link in the caption!<br />

Number nine, but no revolution. Voices United hymn #9 is "People, Look East! The Time is Near," to the fun French folk ... song (I couldn't think of a synonym for 'song' that started with an 'f') given the tune name <i>Besançon</i>.<br />
Personally I like this one to fly on its own, but I think this harmony may need a more measure pace than I prefer.<br />

Yep, you read right. Voices United #6, still in the Advent section, is "A Candle is Burning," to the tune <i>Away in a Manger</i>, and so it's next on my list. James R. Murray put this tune out there in 1887, and I've done stuff with it before (not to mention the text) but this is a fresh harmonization this 25th of March, because why not.</div>

Original harmonization: COVID<br />
<br />
COVID is a new tune by Vladimir Antonov-Charsky, using the text "In Grief and Fear, to thee, O Lord" by William Bullock.<br />
<br />
The text is somewhat appropriate to the news of the day.<br />
<br />
So here's the thing I did.<br />
<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
I didn't write the tune. If you're interested in the tune, or use of the piece, contact Vladimir at alvirdimus@gmail.com<br />
<br />
If you want to see the original composition, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUGXmA3kNZI" target="_blank">here's a YouTube link.</a><br />

And of course, there's a PDF link in the description for my harmony!<br />

<br />
reharmonization: Stuttgart<br />
<br />
Voices United #2 is "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus," set to the tune <i>Stuttgart</i>, from the Psalmodia Sacra of 1715. So, yes, very much in the public domain.<br />
<br />
So here's a reharmonization. I went a little chromatic. This is not unusual for me.<br />
<br />
So here's the thing I did.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Next up... #3 is a French text that uses the tune, #4 is David Young's 1988 tune Whittlesey, and #5 is Alberto Taulé's 1972 self-named tune, so next up will be #6, which is Away in a Manger. While it is usually connected to a Christmas text, in this book it is not. So it's next!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have this hymnal. These hymnals. Lots of them. Since Voices United was sitting nearby, it goes first. I'm going to harmonize, or re-harmonize, every public domain tune within the book, bit by bit. Minimum one a day.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Well, it's about six weeks or so until Easter, just enough time to learn a new fanfare for an old tune. And a twisty sort of harmony for it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The tune "Victory" comes from Palestrina, and the most common harmonization is by W. H. Monk. I somehow doubt that my rather... robust, chromatic harmonization will supplant it, but that's really not the point of the exercise. The fanfare is in 5/4 because, ah... because it is.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Seeing as I'm presently preparing several of Brahms' Eleven Choral Preludes for recital, this tune came up: "O World, Now I Must Leave Thee." It seems to be fairly uncommon; the only work I could find using the tune is a Bach four-part setting and the two Brahms preludes, #s 3 and 11.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So, seeing as I needed to come up with a harmony for my choir to sing at the recital anyway, why not, I figured, pull in the tune for a choral prelude of my own?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And this then became the Ostinato on "O Welt..." in which I borrow a page or two from Rheinberger and put the theme in the upper voices (see Meditations, Op. 167, #10), as well as have the theme constantly shifting key (Character pieces, Op. 156, #11).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So without further ado: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/tzjnw9koja2cam8/17_02_26_Welt_Ich_Muss_Dich_Lassen_prelude_and_reharm.pdf">Ostinato on, and reharmonization of, O Welt, ich muß dich lassen</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Alright, so here's a favourite tune of mine, often presented in a form I greatly dislike - in four, rather than in three. The problem being that in order to make these nicely set bars of three in to bars of four, you have to elongate some of the notes and bog down all the forward momentum.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So I leave it in three. Only makes sense to do so if I don't like it in four.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I don't know what the original is, incidentally. I just know I like it in three, don't like it in four, and that I've talked too much about this.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">All it took to get me back in to things was a donation. How about that?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Naw, I'm kidding. I've been busy with a bunch of other projects, mainly performing ones, and I just haven't been on the ball regarding my weekly writing plans. I'll get back to it eventually... I hope! I may even catch up on the few weeks I've missed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So! first of all, I need to send out a gigantic Thank You to Carson Cooman, who</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- gave generously to support my ongoing projects (third weekly prelude book starting soon!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- suggested the tune to write a prelude on; and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">- mentioned in passing an interest in single-manual, small-pedal-compass organs, providing an interesting creative challenge for writing this work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So here, then, without further ado, is the <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/q5xxe7mhd5xtf4e/17_02_10_Meditation_on_Wondrous_Love..pdf">Meditation on "Wondrous Love"</a> (click for downloadable PDF) - just in time for Lent, no less!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', trebuchet, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well! it's 2017 now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Time to get back to the weekly work. New year, new project. Or, rather, getting going on an old project that was started but never followed through.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last summer I got married (whoo!) and last fall I got very, very busy (also whoo!) such that I just didn't have the drive to continue my weekly hymn-based works. So that's my 2017 project - one a week, based on a hymn tune.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have Richard Crossman to thank for his generous donation and his suggestion of using <i>Hyfrydol</i>. If you have a hymn tune you'd like to see given a treatment, let me know - and if you want to support my work in doing so, there's a link at the bottom of the post to my GoFundMe page. I'm still getting ready to start my third book of 24 free works, and a little extra money goes a long way towards making that happen!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So here's the <i>Postlude on Hyfrydol </i>(<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/file/sv5amrhthtdpuqx/17_01_06_Postlude_on_Hyfrydol.pdf">Click on this link for a PDF</a>):</div>
