God Be With You Till We Meet Again
Tune: God Be With You
Lyrics: Jeremiah Rankin (1828-1904)
Music: William G. Tomer (1833-1896)
Our closing hymn today at church in an arrangement for solo organ. A little rompin' and stompin'!
Tremulants On and Off, Bells, Drums, Cymbals, Horns, Tibias, Voxes.....
If you watch the video (best viewed in 720p), the second refrain shows open harmony, which is a theatre organ technique made famous by Jesse Crawford. (played here on 16' & 4' Tibias with 16' Vox and Sax.) Basically you take the middle note out of a 3 note chord, and play it an octave lower on the same manual, add some double glissandi and you are playing "open harmony."
