"Jesus ist kommen, Grund ewiger Freude"

This is an-other of my own arrangements of a hymn tune.

I used Melodia 8' and Flute 4' on the lower manual (and added Trompette 8' for the second verse), Open Diapason 8', Gedeckt 8', and Hautbois 8' on the upper manual, and Sub Bass 16' + Gedeckt 8' for the pedals.

"Westminster Abbey"

After I went through James Bastien's Great Hymns Arranged for Organ last year, I thought I would try to come up with my own arrangements of hymn tunes that were in the same sort of simple style.

I used Melodia 8' and Flute 4' on the lower manual (and added Trompette 8' for the second verse), Open Diapason 8', Gedeckt 8', and Hautbois 8' on the upper manual, and Sub Bass 16' + Gedeckt 8' for the pedals.

(Part of the reason I'm posting this now is that I've run out of musical features to write about in hymns, aside from those in hymns that are seasonally specific.)

"As with Gladness, Men of Old" (From James Bastien's Great Christmas Carols Arranged for Organ)

For each of the last couple years, I've recorded a piece from James Bastien's Great Christmas Carols Arranged for Organ for an-other project.  I've been sticking to the less overtly religious pieces for that project, but this piece was on the opposite page of the one I did this year, and I ended up learning and recording it, too.  I used the pipe organ sound on my Nord Electro 5D with the Hammond XPK-130G bass pedals.

"Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow"

Because this is a doxology, I went through it only once.  Also, this is the last tune in the book, so now I've completed this project.

"Christ the Lord Is Risen Today"

In Bastien's book, this hymn has the title "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," but in The Lutheran Service Book, the text accompanying this tune ("Easter Hymn") is "Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" (#457).  The two hymns in LSB that do begin with "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (#463 and #469) have different tunes.
