ISBN 9781491154144. UPC: 680160912643. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: Ab major. English. Henry F. Lyte (1793-1847).

Henry Francis Lyte, 19th century Scottish minister and poet, wrote this hymn text during the last year of his life. The opening line of the hymn is misquoted from Luke 24:29, when the disciples meet the resurrected Jesus, but do not recognize him. They ask him to Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. The change to the singular pronoun gives the hymn its comforting, personal and emotional intimacy. Though Lyte wrote his own tune for the poem, the tune most associated with the text is Eventide by William Henry Monk. Monk, a composer, arranger, and editor wrote this tune for the hymns inclusion in Hymns Ancient and Modern, published in 1861. Be intentional to sing a tall, pure /a/ sound on the word abide. Also be mindful that the original Abide with me hymn melody should be primary with the prayerful Pater Noster providing its support. Overall, bear in mind the prayerful mood of the selection and mold the color of the tone accordingly. For more information visit www.reginalwright.com.

Here is a new major work for Spring programming, based on early American folk songs and hymns. Sacred Places explores the story of Christ's ministry, passion and resurrection, all emphasizing the locations where these great moments occurred: The Sea of Galilee, The Wedding at Cana, The Sermon on the Mount, Jerusalem, The Upper Room, The Garden of Gethsemane, Calvary and the Garden of Resurrection. With poignant narrations and scripture, along with the creative orchestrations by Brant Adams, this is a memorable telling of the life of Christ. Two distinct endings are provided, allowing for a presentation during Holy Week that ends with the crucifixion, or an Easter moment that concludes with a joyful affirmation of life.

Songs include: Prelude; Songs from the River; Come and Hear the Wondrous Story; My Song in the Night; Lift Up Your Heads, Jerusalem; The Remembering; The Midnight Garden; A Green Hill Far Away; Sunrise; Alleluia! Christ Is Risen!
