The Song of the Church

These are the hymns that are sung again and again, beloved by all, sung with gusto on Sunday morning and hummed throughout the week. Kevin Hildebrand has set these 12 preludes in interesting and varied ways. These include “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” featuring an accompaniment with a strings stop that is drenched with longing emotion, and a toccatina on “Holy, Holy, Holy” that is fun to play and would function as a great introduction to the hymn.
