Subject: Lyr Add/Req: There is a star that shineth From: Haruo Date: 16 Jan 07 - 04:19 PM A few days ago I received the following email, sparked by "Leland's Webb Site", an old hymn page in La Lilandejo:I came across Leland's Webb site as a result of a search for "stand up" and "morning light is breaking".In supersearching and powersearching and whatnot I was unable to locate a Mudcat thread dealing with this tune, which has accreted quite a few texts, sacred and parodic alike, since its first appearance in the mid-1800s. So I thought I would start a thread with precisely that in view, beginning with Mr. Haugen's query. |
Subject: Links to Webb texts in DT & Cyber Hymnal From: Haruo Date: 16 Jan 07 - 04:37 PM Three stanzas of Stand up, Stand up for Jesus are in the DT, with a simple MIDI. The DT also has the Wobblies' version, Stand up! Ye WorkersThe Cyber Hymnal gives six stanzas, with a more elaborate MIDI and NWC score. The Cyber Hymnal also has The Morning Light Is Breaking, as well as four other hymn texts, In Lands Across the Sea, O Thou, Whose Hand Hath Brought Us, Our Country's Voice Is Pleading, and Thy Might Sets Fast the Mountains. It's a regular-meter hymn tune (7.6.7.6.D), so obviously there are hundreds of other hymns that could be sung to it. Haruo |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE FREMONT HYMN From: Haruo Date: 17 Jan 07 - 04:21 PM I've linked to this before but am surprised to see that I apparently never posted the lyrics here. It's my signature piece in Seattle AA circles. [Warning: contains naughty language.] The Fremont Hymn |
