on an Irish Hymn Tune

Piano and Organ PREVIEW ON YOUTUBE
This duo for piano and organ is transcribed from my concert band composition of the same name. The theme is the familiar hymn tune Slane, which was itself derived from an Irish folk song (of several hymns which use this tune, the most popular by far is Be Thou My Vision). It is played first in a setting of its familiar form, below a gentle "Irish penny whistle" ostinato. This is followed by seven variations and an extended finale featuring an “Irish jig” over a repeating pedal ground bass, with a climactic organ chorale coming in between the two.

SIX CHORALE PRELUDES
On Favorite Hymn Tunes
Book I
Level: M
Duration: 19:00
Price: $17.50
Publisher: Dacker Music
Each lasting approximately three minutes, these chorale preludes are useful as recital repertoire, as well as preludes, offertories, and postludes for church services. Each piece includes a brief history of the source tune, along with a list of the most familiar hymns that use it.
Authorization is given to substitute an appropriate hymn title for the tune name on programs and church bulletins or screens.
Since I am not an organist myself, and most organs are just as unique as their players anyway, registration and manual choices are mostly left up to the performer.
Each chorale prelude in the collection is also available individually. Ordering information and individual recordings are linked below, along with the name of the hymn(s) most commonly associated with each tune.
