As a part of my Advent discipline this year, I am writing four simple songs for voice and piano around the meanings of Advent candles. The progression of meaning I’ll be following is Hope, Love, Joy and Peace.
This is the fourth of the songs. I won’t have sound files immediately available for the pieces, as the springtime-in-winter weather we’re experiencing is wreaking havoc with my voice. I hope to release sound files, along with usage suggestions for the songs, when I put out a collected version of these pieces once they’re all completed. Until then, I will be sharing the individual sheet musics on a weekly basis throughout Advent. -

This piece is a setting for voice (solo voice or unison voices) and organ of the first four verses of Psalm 86. The piece’s melody is loosely based on the tune designated for this psalm in the Genevan Psalter, a collection of metrical psalms composed primarily by the 16th-century musician Louis Bourgeois under the guidance of Protestant Reformation theologian John Calvin. Sections of the melody here directly quote the original (with some rhythmic changes), while other sections are new. The original melody can be found through the link below the following paragraph.
The piece’s text is a poetic rendering by W. van der Kamp of the first four verses of the Psalm 86, and it comes from the 1984 edition of the Book of Praise of the Canadian Reformed Churches. The text is under copyright, and is distributed through this podcast with the kind permission of the Standing Committee for the Publication of the Book of Praise. The full text by Mr. van der Kamp (which goes through the whole psalm) along with the original melody can be found beginning on page 220 of the document accessible through the “the Psalms” link at the top of the following webpage:

Hello, all. Kevin Sanderson-Doughty here with a brief update.
As I'm sure you've noticed, the Sung Prayers Podcast has been on hiatus for some time now. But starting today, we will get things going again. Beginning today, I'll be releasing one episode per week through the rest of the 2010 Lenten season. The first three of these new episodes will be piano pieces based on Gregorian Chant melodies, similar to Podcast #013. The other two Lenten episodes will consist of a supplement to a previous episode and a new piece.
After Lent, I'll be taking a few weeks off. Then, on April 16, 2010, I'll be making an announcement regarding the future of this podcast. I do plan to keep it going, but there are going to be some changes in scheduling and content. I am also planning some significant additions to the functionality of this website. These additions will also be announced and made in April.
And that's it for this announcement. But before I sign off, I do want to express my thanks to you for returning to this podcast with me. I hope you'll find the Lenten episodes to be meaningful, and please make sure to check back in on April 16, 2010.
Peace be with you,

This piece is based on the first half of a melody from the Geneva Psalter, a collection of metrical psalms composed primarily by the 16th-century musician Louis Bourgeois under the guidance of Protestant Reformation theologian John Calvin. The specific psalm tune used here is the one written for Psalm 148. Again, only the first half the of the original melody is used. It should also be noted that the original rhythms have been altered for this arrangement.
Tempo and dynamic markings are included in the piece, but they are offered only as suggestions and not as absolute and immutable guides. I would strongly recommend reading and reflecting upon the psalm for which this tune was originally written (again, Psalm 148) in order to develop one’s own interpretation of the music. - Visa fler
