Con Spirito Music #1007710. Published by Con Spirito Music (A0.1431445). O Worship the King is a free paraphrase of Psalm 104 (largely verses 1-13 and 24-33) by Sir Robert Grant (1779-1838), an Anglo-Indian lawyer who served as a member of Parliament as well as Governor of Bombay. Influenced by William Kethe's paraphrase of the same psalm, Grant's O Worship the King first appeared in Edward Bickersteths Christian Psalmody (1833) and later appeared in a posthumous volume of Grants work, Sacred Poems (1839), edited by his brother Charles.Grant's text includes six verses; many hymnals abbreviate it, leaving off the concluding one. This arrangement, employing the tune HANOVER by William Croft (1678-1727), includes music for verses 1-5, and may be furthered abbreviated to four by eliminating the repeat on verses 1-2.Following an introduction that contrasts short melodic fragments with answering flourishes, the arrangement proceeds as follows: Verses 1-2: organ accompaniment Verse 3: brass accompaniment Verse 4: organ accompaniment with trumpet countermelody Interlude organ and brass Verse 5: organ and brass accompaniment with alternate harmonization Coda allThe timpani part may be excluded if no timpani are available.Copyright 2024 Todd Marchand / Con Spirito Music.
