How Great Thou Art | Trumpet and Piano
Duration: 3 minutes, 30 Seconds
How Great Thou Art is a powerful hymn showing not only the might of God but also the lands and beings that he created. The arrangement is designed to be a ‘Call to Worship’ for a congregation, a loud and triumphant beginning to a worship service. The introduction features many aggressive chords representing the incomprehensible nature of God’s power. Verse #1 features the main theme with very few alterations or changes to the powerful hymn. There is a pulsing beat to help drive the motion and help give a sense of exploration. Transitioning into Verse #2 features curious harmonies that help listeners move from the skies to ‘wondering in the forest’. A triple meter is highlighted showing progress through the world that God created.
