Shepherd Show Me- a new take inspired by Hymn 304
This is a hymn i want to record this year for a new inspirational CD.
The motif is 2 bars of Brackett's music, but the rest is my own composition and new contemporary territory.
The words are by Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church in the later 1800s, called Feed My Sheep (public domain). Music (C) 2011 Dean G Wolfe. (two bar phrase by Lyman Brackett)
The New Hymnal Supplement came with instructions!
The Hymns and Tune Book of Boston, which was the first Hymnal used in Christian Science services, says, in a Preface:
"Choirs do not expect to sing well without careful practice; why should a congregation? Some regularly organized plan to secure general musical culture, and stated rehearsals, should be a part of the working apparatus of each church. It will conduce much to its success also, if the book is made a familiar companion in the home circle."
