CGA1122 Many and Great, O God
Description
Reflecting on the wonders of God's creation, this setting of the Native American hymn, ""Many and Great, O God"", spotlights the spirit of dignity and sincerity found in the hymn's text written by Joseph Renville, paraphrased by Philip Frazier. Between the hymn's two stanzas, a chanted prayer of thanksgiving provides a unique B section offering the opportunity for an introduction to part-singing. Here, a new melody contained in open fifths, can be sung in unison, two or three part. Children's choirs will especially enjoy the hymn study related to the piece which can be found on the members only hymn studies section of the website.
Voicing: Unison/Two or Three part treble with piano
Arranger: Mitzi Scott
Text: Joseph Renville, para. Philip Frazier
