By Hugh Levey. By Horatio Spafford; Philip Bliss. Arranged by Hugh Levey. This edition: pdf. 19th Century, Christian, Praise & Worship, Religious. 19 pages. Woodwindly.com #1232272. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1666327).
String Quartet
The words of this hymn were inspired by a series of tragedies in the life of hymn writer, Horatio Spafford. He lost his 4 year old son in a Chicago fire in 1871 and two years later he lost all 4 of his daughters when the ship, SS Ville du Havre, sank while they were travelling from the USA to England. Only his wife survived the journey. He wrote these words while he travelled alone to meet his grieving wife shortly afterwards.
The hymn was first published in 1876, set to a tune by Philip Bliss which is still known as Ville du Havre. It exists in versions with either 4 or 5 verses. This arrangement for string quartet consists of 5 verses, each with slightly altered harmonisation or articulation, to suit the words. For example in verse 3 the words "Nailed to the Cross" are accompanied by accented stabbing chords. Verse 5 has some trumpet-like fanfares to match the reference to the "Trump[et] Calls" in the text.
The words to the hymn are shown in the score and in the first violin part, so the arrangement can be used in a worship setting. Verses can be omitted to suit your liturgical needs. Similarly, if the arrangement is used for an instrumental performance, verses can be omitted as required.
Duration: 5’ to 5’30".
