SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER... INSTRUMENTAL VARIATIONS...
I know this is a bit unusual to share so many instruments playing one song :-)..but, it was an accident how it all happened and I found it so interesting..I thought , perhaps, you would also...my intent/expectation is not that you listen to all of these in total...but, perhaps, sample them all and hear the different sounds each instrument makes...like one does at a smorgasbord :-)
There is a story as there always is....this hymn has been on my site played with software cello as a duet and sounded just like I wanted it to...but, a few weeks ago , when I went to play it with my cello...I knew this hymn would not sound like I wanted it to as a cello duet....so, I made a cello solo that I am very happy with..you can hear it on my Cello Music page....but, what to do with my music that I wrote?...I, thought, a hymn should be played on an Organ....I knew my piano made different sounds but never explored them....now , was the time to do so and I did...it was easier and much more fun than I ever thought possible :-)
I had to research the Harp and Marimba to find out what kind of music they play...how it is written...the good news was my duet music suited both with a few very minor changes.... I was very engrossed in this process as I was learning something and new doors were being opened in my mind for the future....and I was enthralled with the sounds:-)
I hope you enjoyed hearing the different sounds of this lovely Hymn.... I thank you for listening to my music ....
