Piano Solo - Digital Download

SKU: A0.784698

Composed by American tunes. Arranged by P. F. Tillen. Christian,Concert,Folk,Sacred. Score. 5 pages. PFTMusic #6070513. Published by PFTMusic (A0.784698).

A Little Fantasia on Two American Folk Hymns mashes up two hymn tunes that are widely used in American hymnals: HOLY MANNA (All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly; God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens) and PLEADING SAVIOR (Sing of Mary, Pure and Lowly; Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service). This mashup resulted from the fact that I often confuse and conflate these two tunes, as they're similar in sound and feel.

The setting is cheerful and active, accompanied by running eighth notes, with a calm center section. Harmonies feature lots of 4ths and 5ths, maintaining the American folk style.

About the Sonata Hymnica Series

Program Note

Composer James Siddons draws on the ethos of American rural hymns and spirituals to create evocations of the deeper, larger meaning of familiar church melodies. These sonatas for piano solo explore these deeper meanings in a variety of contemporary musical influences, while keeping in mind the acoustics of small rural churches of the late nineteenth century, with wooden floors and walls, high ceilings, and dimensions determined by local builders who knew how to shape a room for excellent acoustics in an age of no electricity and no microphones. These sonatas are but partly about the specific melodies and words, and mostly about their meaning in spiritual contemplation . . . and the piano, resonating, reverberant, sometimes whispering---as a sacred harp.

            Although these sonatas have no specific titles, the first sonata may be thought of as the Prayer Sonata, the second as the Travel Sonata, as in a spiritual journey, and the third sonata is about our greatest fear, that of being alone and without God.

Sonata Hymnica No. 3 draws on two melodies from the African-American experience. One, Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)? was first published in 1899 in W. E. Barton’s Old Plantation Hymns but existed earlier as a folk hymn. It became the first spiritual to be included in a major hymnal, The Hymnal 1940 of the Episcopal Church in the U.S.A. Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child was sung by the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University from 1870 on, and was published in the Rev. Dr. Barton’s Old Plantation Hymns in 1899.

Performance Note

The pianist must keep in mind that these sonatas are about playing the piano as much as playing a composition. Musical effects characteristic of the piano and descriptive of the memory in American culture are the substances of these piano solos. Touch is important: in many places, several dynamics are called for on the same beat.

Duration --- . Sonata Hymnica No. 3 --- 9 minutes.
