Shemida was looking at doing this Advent hymn by Dianne Hannibal.
The sheet music is available at many places on the internet including here.
The text is here (scroll down).
I don’t have the sheet music so I made up a backing, which may be approximate. Some arrangements have a key change but I left that out. Part of “Come O Come Emmanuel” occurs towards the end.
By the way, this sounds like a hopeful lament! – the exception that test the rule (see yesterday’s post and Chris’s apposite commentary).
Advent: my favourite season (probably should really be Easter, but we Catholics traditionally struggle with joy …), and too short at four weeks! Full of hope, looking forward, and positivity …
Mine too Chris. (I reckon we’re really an Advent people, not an Easter one – Maranatha is our song!)
And there’s just so much great Advent music, most of which we never get to use ‘cos there’s only 4 weeks!
