[@RienSchalkwijk]

This is a beautiful arrangement. Nicely played!

[@DCTOnline]

Thank you very much Rien :)

It's my favourite hymn (so a bit of bias), but love the OOMPH you give the last verse (I *really* need to invest in Rawsthorne's arrangements)

[@DCTOnline]

Oh I get it - I love this one too my friend! I'm often in two minds about how much oomph to put into the last verse on these softer hymns - I still want to word-paint, and give the gravitas to the music, but don't want to overpower the gentleness of the hymn... The 400 is an investment - I've got a couple other reharm books, (Harrison Oxley, Colin Mawby, June Nixon), but keep coming back to Rawsthorne for his accessibility and melodic structure.
