#733: Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Jul. 15th, 2019 09:11 pmIs the alto part really boring?
Yes and no. A lot of repeated D's, but also a lot of accidentals (sharps or flats) which make it kind of tricky to sightread.
Are the tenor/bass parts really spread out?
Sometimes yes, farther than I could play, and sometimes they're the same note. I probably should have given a tag for "the left hand is too spread out" but I feel like most of the things I would say have unfortunate implications in this political climate, oops.
How about the lyrics?
Pretty nice, if a bit old-timey--I guess the mentions of the seasons and the stars in the second verse categorize it as "creation." "there is no shadow of turning" is I guess a fancy way of saying that God is unchanging, while also sort of a Margaret Thatcher reference. I mean not literally, it was before her time.
