DaveHarries Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi. Wondering if anyone can identify the piece of music which is played for the opening 2 minutes of this clip? Nice use of the cimbelstern bells (although the organ case, AFAIK, has no rotating start on it). Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_L Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Absolutely no idea - but have you thought that it could it be an improvisation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Robinson Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 And from 57.30, Abide With Me. I thought this was only an English hymn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveHarries Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Absolutely no idea - but have you thought that it could it be an improvisation? I did but, if it is, I wonder what piece / hymn tune the improvisation is of. Really nice job. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_L Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 And from 57.30, Abide With Me. I thought this was only an English hymn. Clearly between Monk writing the tune, in 1847, it had time to travel to Germany where it appears in the Koln Gesangbuch - and in a couple of other North German books I have in my possession. A number of hymn tunes do - and, of course, our hymn books are full of tunes 'borrowed' from the German Lutheran and Catholic traditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiratutti Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello Dave, Wondering if anyone can identify the piece of music which is played for the opening 2 minutes of this clip? Nice use of the cimbelstern bells (although the organ case, AFAIK, has no rotating start on it). no piece, it's an improvisation. In 2014 the german hymnal Gotteslob was renewed. Since then "Abide with me" is used for Nr. 94 "Bleib bei uns Herr, die Sonne gehet nieder." and for 325 "Bleibe bei uns, du Wandrer durch die Zeit!"

John Robinson Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Nice to see hymns and other religious music being shared in this way, even though we're leaving the EU. Of course, we are emphatically not leaving Europe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
