ISB Prelude on 'Lavenham'

[@geraldinecottle6276]

I commented on this a year ago during yet another lockdown, not knowing what God had in store for me and my husband. I sadly lost my husband to pancreatic and liver cancer a few months ago so this is even more relevant to me now.

Beautiful..said a prayer for you tonight

[@joangreet6009]

Today David travelled a long way to worship at his childhood church on the outskirts of Plymouth, as "He Had To!" These true words and this superb music together, is helping him through the profound loss of the Plymouth tragedies over the past 3 days. If it can help you through your sadness's too, then there is hope. Amen.

[@geoffhamilton3194]

Fantastic playing of a fantastic composition

[@christophernapier5427]

A lovely elegaic tune in a gentle setting. I met the composer today - his brother is one of my colleagues.

[@geraldinecottle6276]

Thank you for this. It is so relevant in these times.

[@pamelawood5607]

Beautiful Our band plays this piece but it has so much more meaning when words ate put to it Such a blessing.

[@geoffnobes4796]

Thank you, Pamela; so pleased you play it and find it helpful. Nick's words are so beautiful. Geoff Nobes

Our band at Sale play this beautiful piece too. We always have the words on the screen so people are doubly blessed, but Geoff - thank you!

[@KingKramden]

Here are the words from the ISB's site: Prelude on the hymn tune 'Lavenham' 25/10/2015 by Prelude on the hymn tune 'Lavenham' composed by Geoffrey Nobes has been a popular piece on tour with the thought provoking lyrics being displayed on the screens whilst we have presented this piece of music. There have been numerous requests for a copy of these lyrics. Here are the three verses from this hymn that we use with Geoffrey's arrangement. We hope and pray that these will be helpful to you. Lord, there are times when I have to ask, ‘What?’ - times when your love is not easy to spot. What is life’s purpose and what of me here?’ Grant me some answers, Lord, make your will clear. Lord, there are times when I have to ask, ‘How?’ - times when what’s preached doesn’t square with life now. Wrestling with doubt I ask, ‘How can this be?’ Grant me some answers, Lord, help me to see. ​Lord, there are times when the questions run fast - times when I fear that my faith may not last. Help me, support me, Lord, help me get through. Lead me through darkness till light shines anew. © Words & Music: 2004 Kevin Mayhew Ltd

Beautiful words

superb

[@wendylovatt-jones3319]

Stunning

[@elsegee]

Hard to find words to express the beauty and richness of this blending of words and tune! A great inspirational to sensitive listeners. Does anyone have the PPT for these words?

[@royalenemaynard6532]

Would it be possible to use this in my Corps? Just what I need.

[@lethalyeezy8577]

Is this on Spotify, if so does anyone have the link?

[@Thomas_Mabs]

Can anyone please send me the score😇

[@ma77i7yahu]

Wonderful music and lovely words. But it'd be great if there was a piano version of this arrangement rather than just a brass band score.
