A beautiful hymn tune by James Leith Macbeth Bain (b. Scotland, c. 1840; d. Liverpool, England, 1925), who was a healer, mystic, and poet known simply as Brother James. My arrangement for piano captures the essence of this simple, folk-like melody whilst breathing new life into it. Appropriate for general worship, funerals and recitals. Intermediate.

An arrangement (revised 2024) by Philip Le Bas of a popular and simple melody by James Leith Macbeth Bain (1860-1925) - Brother James - with words of Psalm 23 (The Lord's my shepherd) for 3-part choir and piano. There are many existing arrangements, but most tend to be rather fancy (e.g. by Gordon Jacob and Alan Bullard), requiring four competent parts, or else it is simply sung as a congregation hymn. Here it is set for SABar choir so that it becomes more accessible to small parish choirs, who may lack tenors and basses. It has five verses, the second and fourth providing an opportunity either for a cappella or for accompanied part singing. The other verses are varied particularly by the piano, although the ending is also in parts.
