Product Description
A Little Fantasia on Two American Folk Hymns mashes up two hymn tunes that are widely used in American hymnals: HOLY MANNA (All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly; God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens) and PLEADING SAVIOR (Sing of Mary, Pure and Lowly; Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service). This mashup resulted from the fact that I often confuse and conflate these two tunes, as they're similar in sound and feel.
The setting is cheerful and active, accompanied by running eighth notes, with a calm center section. Harmonies feature lots of 4ths and 5ths, maintaining the American folk style.
This arrangement is accessible to an ambitious intermediate or advanced player, and is suitable for worship or recital.
