Hark the Herald Angels Sing♫ by Charles Wesley (1739) and Felix Mendelsohn (adapted by W H Cummings (1857) ♫ with  Δόξα �ν ὑψίστοις θεῷ (Glory to God in the Highest) ♫ original song © 2023 Stephen R Dalrymple♫ piano solo arrangement by Stephen R Dalrymple♫ performed by the arranger♫ music © 2023 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ recording ℗  2023 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ presentation © 2023 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ Charles Wesley started his poem with ‘Listen to the angels !’ This started me wondering, what did the angels’ voices sound like ? ♫ Prosody is study of the intonation, stress, and rhythm of the speech of a language (contrasted with the sounds of the vowels and consonants.) Could I replicate the angel’s basic speech patterns? My study of Greek in seminary has given me a pretty good idea of how to pronounce the consonants and vowels of the Greek language. But I would want to listen to someone who actually speaks Greek as their mother tongue to have an idea of the prosody. After further study, I have rewritten the angels’ music; this update represents my latest understanding.♫ Although Latin was the language of the Roman conquerors, Greek was the lingua franca of the Mediterranean world of the first century. Some scholars want us to believe that most of the Jews were not erudite enough to speak Greek. ♫ Yet those of us who have travelled to countries like Haiti, are not surprised that many people there speak Kreyòl, French, English and Spanish!♫ I began searching for someone who actually spoke Greek conversationally to pronounce Luke 2 :14 in Greek. After I found a reliable source, I reduced the rhythm and the accented sylables to simpified music notation. I pulled from my knowledge of ancient modes and used my imagination to add pitches and repetitions of phrases. The melodic and harmonic result is completely inventive, but I believe the basic rhythm of the speech is fairly accurate.♫ This .pdf file includes 2 files: 1) Letter size piano score 2) Small page piano score for performing from a 10 inch tablet♫ (Tell your computer which pages you want to print.

Hymnals normally have a metrical index of hymn meters based on the syllabic pattern and stress of the poem. Currently AURELIA is most often paired with The Church’s One Foundation.  However, it works beautifully with Another Year is Dawning. The second verse is paired here with a Welsh melody LLANGLOFFAN.♫ Frances R Havergal wrote the lyrics for 89 hymns including Take My Life and Let it Be, I Gave My Life for Thee, and Like a River Glorious. Another Year is Dawning was written as a poem for her New Years greeting cards.♫ This .pdf file includes 2 files: 1) Letter size piano score 2) Small page piano score for performing from a 10 inch tablet♫ (Tell your computer which pages you want to print.
