GIA sent an e-mail about some Hymns for Healing for which they were posting sheet music until September 1st. There are five of them to look at and “Shelter Me” by Father Joncas was so good I thought I’d look at these as well.
If you are looking for songs of lament you go to John Bell of course and this song that he based on a Norwegian text by Hans-Olav Mork is extraordinary.
For now, you can download the sheet music for free at GIA.
As usual when faced with piano music and no chords and being no keyboard player I played with the reverse chord finder and Band in a Box and came up with something nothing like John Bell did but there you go.
Just heard this played at the close if our ‘virtual’ Sunday Service.
It really is great. Many congratulations to all involved,
Will now try to download a copy.
