All people that on earth do dwell (Old Hundreth)

Opening hymn on June 15, 2008 at Otey Memorial Parish, Sewanee, TN. Moller/Milner 2/9 unit pipe organ. Based on the Vaughn Williams setting...pretty close, but I couldn't find the music anywhere. The trumpet descant in the third verse and the fauxbourdon in the fourth should be fairly accurate.

It's VERY close ! You did really well working this out by ear. They are the most amazing key changes in the last verse, aren't they? I've heard R.V.W's arrangement accompanied by Brass - but always prefer it played with the organ's brass stops. Congratulations on your great rendition.

Thanks for your kind words. I've seen the music before, it's just been a long time. I was especially happy with verses three and four, considering.

I wasn't sure about the key changes at the end...I thought I might have overdone it there, LOL.

I want this sung at my funeral.

My apologies...this was sitting here waiting to be approved and I never did. Hopefully your funeral has not come and gone in that time!

Thanks! For some reason the camera really made the organ sound "clunky," which it doesn't in person. It must have a better internal mic than I thought!

Nice! I had the RVW setting at my wedding and found the original score in a facsimile copy of the coronation service for Elizabeth II (Novello, ISBN 9780711995963). There's a lot of other excellent choral music in there, of course, as well as it being an interesting bit of history.

This hymn is really powerful. I wish we'd use it sometime.

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I ply the piano and organ. Today (October 5), we sang this as our opening hymn. It is #883 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship in the Praise, Thanksgiving section. Just thought I'd share.
