Hymn arrangement available??

Post by ppalan »

Does anyone know if there is a band arrangement of the Irish hymn "Our Lady of Knock" (composed by Rosemary Scallon) available from any source? I've only been able to find guitar or piano/organ versions. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

This doesn't answer your question about availability, but here is an instrumental/vocal performance on YouTube with lots of lovely imagery. It's a beautiful song and I can understand your interest in finding an arrangement.

Certainly af fine setting that is performed on YouTube (if one is hot on an overly compressed tenor voice). Surprised me in the beginning where the choir sings a different hymn (Es ist ein Ros entsprungen). Doesn't have the counterpoint soloist of Panis Angelicus, but could be set in a similar style.

Only this is a tune hardly more than 30 years old, so the red tape connected with getting a permission to set it keeps at least me out of that game.

Found a version for vocal solo with a quite simplistic organ accompaniment:

Oddly enough for a church related site you are med with warnings, that this site contains stuff that will harm your computer. Knock on wood: my old Mac apparently survived the download.

The composers own performance in a more folksy style:

There are a simple, but certainly beautiful, descant and some offset vocal entries that could be used in a band arrangement.
