Composed by James Curnow. Praise and Adoration Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1999. Curnow Music #CMP 0258-99-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0258-99-010). FANFARE PRELUDE: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST is based on the hymn-tune “St. Anne,” which was used by G.F.Handel in the Chandos anthem “O Praise the Lord,” and by J.S.Bach in his triple fugue in E-flat “The St. Anne Fugue.” James Curnow’s FANFARE PRELUDE: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST captures the thoughts of this magnificent hymn, which speaks of our country’s reliance upon God. The unusual 4/4 meter setting with artfully crafted re-harmonizations and lush counterpoint gives each listener cause to reflect on the importance and meaning of this melody to patriotic Americans everywhere.Inspired!
