God of Grace arr. Paul Manz (Hauptwerk)

High-quality MP3: http://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/music/122

This is my performance of Paul Manz's magnificent setting of "God of Grace." In my church (Latter-day Saint) the song is called "Guide Us, O Thou Great Jehovah". It is being performed on my home organ which is running Hauptwerk v3.

The sample set is the Notre Dame de Metz Cavaille-Coll (though as you can hear, it does quite well as an American Classic) by Milan Digital Audio.

I have amplified the Positiv Trompette 8' and Great Clairon 4' for this performance.

In the Methodist Hymnal, the tune is CWM Rhondda and there are 2 different settings to it: "God of Grace, God of Glory" and "Guide me Thou O Great Jehovah". In planning worship, we get confused sometimes..."didn't we just do that hymn?" "NO...We did the tune".

Regardless, its a great setting. Paul Manz does a great job with these things, and you did a great job playing it. :)

Thanks! We have it in the hymnal as "Guide Us O Thou Great Jehovah" so it gets even more confusing!

The piece seems so be variations on the Welsh hymn tune "Cwm Rhondda" with bits of Handel thrown in.

Sounds very nice :-)

Right on :)

Good and fun, would suggest less weight on the last notes of the "hallelujah" figure

Lovely clear sound, lots of stereo echo...

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (July 24), I played this as the Closing Hymn. It is #705 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

I love this arrangement, and you played it superbly and at a nice quick tempo! About the Hauptwerk setup, do you use a computer dedicated just for it?

far out.  Like the registrations. Who makes the MIDI keyboard layout? I use a Johannus Opus 37 - rather expensive "keyboard!!"

Thank you for posting this magnificent setting by Paul Manz. I enjoyed it immensely.
