Doxology (For Paul Burr)

6/15/2015

Comments

 
My wife's family often sings this hymn as a sort of singing grace before holiday meals. The lyr­ics, often referred to as the Dox­ol­o­gy in many church­es, are ac­tu­al­ly the last verse of a long­er hymn, Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun written by Thomas Ken in 1674. 

The score is attributed to Luis Bourgeois  (1510-1561) who, interestingly, was jailed at one point in his career for modifying some well known hymns without a license. (Egads!)

The lyrics are:
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

AKE Trio: Andrew Innes - alto saxophone & musical saw, Kim Patch - violin, Eric Smalley - upright bass
