"St. George's, Windsor"

In both The Lutheran Hymnal and The Lutheran Service Book, every instance of this tune has the same arrangement (the two hymnals have different arrangements, though), but there are two different arrangements in Lutheran Worship (#88 and #495).  Also, it occurred to me that I should record the arrangements in reverse chronological order so that the arrangement from TLH comes last and I can go straight from that into the accompanying Amen cadence.

This is LSB #394, LW #88, LW #495, TLH #134.  I should note that in TLH, the tune is called just "St. George," not "St. George's, Windsor."

"Watchman, Tell Us of the Night"

Back in September 2018, I recorded the tune "St. George," used for TLH #71 "Watchman, Tell Us of the Night."  I noticed a small feature in the second verse.  The first two lines are "Watchman, tell us of the night; / Higher yet that star ascends," sung to these phrases:

"Star ascends" is sung to a rising group of notes (F G A), musically giving a sense of that "ascend[ing]."

Side note:  I hadn't realized this before, but "St. George" in The Lutheran Hymnal is the same tune as "St. George's, Windsor" in Lutheran Worship and The Lutheran Service Book.  I don't know why the titles are different, though.

"St. George" (TLH #134)

"St. George" (TLH #71)

The "Amen" cadence at the end feels a bit rushed, but I was just following the notation.
