All Glory, Laud and Honor (PDF)
NEW! Parts for optional string orchestra on the third verse.
Unison Choir (some SA divisi) with Soloists & Descant, Piano & Organ
Text by Theodulph of Orleans, Translated by John M. Neale
Music by Gustav Holst, Arranged with new Descant by M Ryan Taylor
A new pairing of this classic hymn with a beautiful, majestic tune by Gustav Holst (prominently featured in his great orchestral work, The Planets). The words and tune are a perfect fit. This version for choir is jubilant, offering a fantastic climax when the piano joins the organ and the sopranos take off on a soaring descant. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any service of praise and gratitude.
The Text:
All glory, laud and honor to the Redeemer king!
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!
Thou art the King of Israel, thou David’s royal Son,
Who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and Blessed One.
All glory, laud and honor to the Redeemer king!
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!
The company of angels are praising thee on high,
And mortal men and all things created make reply.
The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went;
Our praise and love and anthems before thee we present.
All glory, laud and honor to the Redeemer king!
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!
To thee, before thy passion, they sang their hymns of praise;
To thee now high exalted, our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises; accept the love we bring,
Who in all good delightest, thou good and gracious King.
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

Question: Is it possible to have audio files of the choral pieces added some time in the future? It would help those of us with little background and experience with choirs to choose among your pieces and to have a model to work towards for performances.
