Paraphrase from Scottish Psalter 1650 Tune: “Crimond” by Jessie Seymour Irvine 1872 With the Choir of Winchester Cathedral Master of Music: David Hill Organ: David Dunnett Source: • Video Video production: Achillies Buchanan
King David was inspired to write this Psalm thousands of years ago. That it holds the essence of Christian living even today is a testimony to our Eternal Father.
This hymn will always have a special place in my heart. It gave me so much strength when I went through the most difficult time of my life. God ministered to me through this hymn all the time. I will never forget the nights in between sobs of despair when all I could do was mime the lyrics. The words never failed to bring me strength and comfort
@@rachelfretz3816 also a hymn may not be a psalm, but a psalm tune (psalmody) is always set either word for word or alternate wording to one of the psalms psalm 1 to 150
I have a plaque of an open Bible at psalm 23 at my bedside. It was my mother’s, I awake every morning seeing it and this is the tune that’s in my head. I love this rendition, thanks for posting .
I sang the Lord's My Shepherd solo accompanied by this version at my fathers funeral 17th August 2022! Thank you for accompanying me... In memory of my beloved Dad Peter Ivor Thomas RIP
This beautiful rendition takes me back to my school days. We used to sing this in daily assembly. Sadly, the days are long gone when children would praise the Lord in schools.
I'm really struggling at the moment and although I don't know this song I woke up singing it and I messaged my sister who's religious saying hey just woke up singing this and she was like far out that was grandpa's favourite hymn he even had it at his funeral. 😮
Does anyone know why they always skip two bars at the end of the second line? It’s like if the rhythm was there the gap would be too long. It seems like the idea is to keep it as short as possible even if it doesn’t make sense rhythmically.
This IS the version used at Her Majesty's funeral. Here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WbYfZ3iGwrs.html at the 23-minute mark.
It certainly appears in many traditional hymn books, but technically it is a metrical psalm setting. This means that it has been paraphrased (as little as possible) in order to fit with a suitable metre. The metre is the number of beats in each of the lines that make up the tune. In this case, “Crimond” has four lines with the pattern 8.6.8.6. This is known as Common Metre or “CM” for short. However, what made great arrangements like this one so effective is that it made use of another layer of complexity. Common Metre is properly understood as not merely an 8.6.8.6 arrangement, but a 4.3.4.3 pattern with the numbers indicating how many “feet” there are per line. A “foot” in this terminology is one step in the melody that has two syllables, one stressed and the other unstressed. The four lines of CM alternate between iambic tetrameter (four metrical feet per line) and iambic trimeter (three metrical feet per line), with each foot consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The genius is matching the wording’s natural syllables to the metre so that the emphasis remains correct. In addition to this, placing the key ideas on the stressed syllables makes the meaning clearer as well. Rhyming is the bow on top. This kind of thing is what makes ancient and traditional music so singable, enjoyable, and memorable. It also echoes in the rhythm of the writings of Shakespeare and others. Sadly, none of this is taught to modern pop music artists. Remnants of it has endured in bands such as ABBA, some of The Beatles”, and in folk music. The four feet of the first line of metrical Psalm 23: 1. unstressed “The” stressed “LORD’S” 2. unstressed “my” stressed “SHEP-“ 3. unstressed “herd” stressed “I’LL” 4. unstressed “not” stressed “WANT”
Irish men like Gerry of Athenry don’t fight 9 foot giants from Maida Vale to Neasden in the field of Elah by warfare means in fair ruddy and true challenges. They are jokes with their beliefs in Jesu of the future. One man fights One thing that asks wether it’s a dog there. This ain’t over. Ireland for the Irish. I am not in Ireland joker.
