In 1998 I wrote a hymn to the tune of Camille Saint Saens' "Organ Symphony" #3, based on the New Testament's Hebrews 1. After ten years, we finally debuted the choral arrangement by Randolph Currie (Ohio), Brent Holcomb (South Carolina), and myself, Andrew Kercher of Colorado Springs, on Ascension Sunday, May 4, 2008. Art Lyons, choir director, arranged the 2-part vocals. Organ played by Zac Crippen. Lyrics are on http://anglicanorthodoxy.blogspot.com/2008/05/organ-symphony-hymn-chorale-deb... (After the performance, video includes Charles Wesley's "Christ the Lord is Ris'n Today.")
Thanks to all the choir members and to Pete Minck for taping this on my Nikon Coolscan.
