Composed by John Burkett. Arranged by John Burkett. Classical,Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score. 23 pages. John Burkett #954835. Published by John Burkett (A0.1370464).My Partita on Sweet Hour ("Sweet Hour of Prayer") presents the theme with an original 4-part harmonization followed by five variations. The first variation is a duo in which the tune is set against a continuous stream of sixteenth notes as accompaniment. The second variation is a waltz in the key of F-sharp major in which an ornamented and expanded version of the melody is accompanied by a modified um-pah-pah accompaniment played by the feet and left hand. By contrast, variation three, in the key of B minor, moves at a much slower pace and conveys a rather sombre mood. The next variation set in 5/8 meter is somewhat like a scherzo. Each phrase of the melody is in a different key and has modal inflections that lends it a mildly exotic character The fifth and final variation is a toccata in the French style that requires panache and bravura. The tune is intoned in slow moving rhythm by the feet while the hands provide a rapidly moving sextuplet accompaniment. I have provided a full-length recording to aid the prospective buyer in the decision-making process. I encourage you to search the Sheet Music Plus or the Sheet Music Direct website for other hymn arrangements of mine, some for organ and others for piano.
