Please turn your hymnals to number 27 and join with the clarinets in “O Little Town of Bethlehem (First Tune)”.
Name: ST. LOUIS (REDNER).
Meter: 8 6, 8 6, 7 6, 8 6.
Tempo: Quietly
Music: Lewis Henry Redner, 1831-1908
Text: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93
It is a beautiful hymn.
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
Here’s the pdf of my arrangement: 027.ServiceBookAndHymnal
I ended up playing the soprano part 4 times, the alto part once, the tenor part once, and the Bass part twice. So, ultimately, 8 clarinets. Again used a tweaked version of the Audacity Reverb effect.
