Description
Three preludes on original hymn tunes of David Ashley White (as published in Sing, My Soul). These pieces are highly suitable for introducing the tunes to a congregation, although they are equally useful as organ voluntaries or a recital suite in cases where the tunes are not known. "Father of Mercies" (composed in memory of Alan Hovhaness) is a meditation within a mystical modality. "We Who Wake in Hope" is a simple trio. "Blessed be the God of Israel" is a dancing, triple-meter toccata inspired by the song of Zechariah.
