How Great Thou Art
PBA-011This SATB choral arrangement reimagines the beloved hymn with rich four-part harmonies and dynamic contrast. The arrangement preserves the reverent majesty of the original while adding harmonic depth.
Scripture
Psalm 8:1 — "Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!"
Inspiration
A love for the original Swedish hymn 'O Store Gud' (1885), combined with the desire to create a distinctly African choral treatment.
Performance Notes
The refrain 'How great Thou art' should build dynamically each time. Let the D major warmth ring out. Tempo around 80 BPM — majestic, not rushed.
