This traditional Marian song was believed to have originated with Coptic Christians in 250AD. This rendition of the song was composed by Louis Lambillotte SJ. I sang it in the low key of F. Hope you like it.
Well sung and played. I appreciate that you transposed this song to a lower key. Too many hymns for too many years have been written in a higher register that can shred baritone and alto voices. Especially if there are a lot of notes above high C and more than 3 verses.
My recent contemporary arrangement of Sebastian Temple’s classic 1960s hymn, "Happy the Man," has reached the Number 1 position on the New Age Notes music charts. I would like to share my story with you.
As a music director/organist, I am always looking for additional sources for new, old, and forgotten hymns and other music. This resource would also be an excellent way to broaden my view of hymnody through history, hymnals, composers, sources, etc. I look forward to new discoveries!
I sing @ St. Vincent in Menifee & St. Peter's in Fallbrook. I am seeking musicians to form a band. I live in Menifee, so local guitarist, keyboards, & female vocals are sought. Dedicated only, & disciplined to practice alone & with group, weekly.
As a young Catholic who adores hymns, I would like to become more aware of those I haven’t heard before. I’m also looking for a space to help identify songs I’d heard once but lost to my memory
Engagée dans la diffusion de la musique catholique, je cherche à partager des chants pour contribuer à l’œuvre d’évangélisation selon mes humbles moyens. Que Dieu veille sur chacun de nous !
I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
As a Catholic songwriter and singer myself, I want to contribute to the community and receive info on how to promote good Catholic songs to a wide audiences.
I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
