Yesterday, as our men’s choir came up to sing “I Need Thee Every Hour,” I realized I had left all the music in my car. I had only my music to accompany them. Luckily one of the eight men who were singing had taken his music home. So all the men ended up crowding around one pathetic piece of music to sing. (Note to self: when the choir is singing, bring the music to Sacrament meeting!)
Our ward choir is rehearsing “We Thank Thee, Oh God, For a Prophet” for September performance. This arrangement is not difficult, but I think the accompaniment adds some interest to this traditional LDS hymn.
Our men’s choir is singing “I Need Thee Every Hour” next week. It’s a two part arrangement that could work well for women’s voices also. Just sing the parts an octave higher.
Our very patient ward choir sang through a few more hymn arrangements last Sunday and someone pointed out that “Dearest Children” had no page numbers. Someone else noticed that “The Light Divine” was missing a word on the first page and in the copyright information said that “Making copies for CON-commercial use is permitted.”
One of our tenors asked if that means only criminals can use it.
After our ward choir sang through “We Thank Thee, Oh God for a Prophet, we agreed it needed something more at the end. So you might want to check out the new arrangement and download it. ![]()
