Come Down O Love Divine

This summer we are likely to sing this hymn with my choir and the congregation in a wedding service, so I already arranged the organ part. The short intro and the first verse are based on the chorale setting by Nigel Stringthorpe. The wonderful melody (by Ralph Vaughan Williams) is not played in the first verse, because the choir will sing it unisono there (to 'instruct' the Dutch congregation which ìs probably not so familiar with the tune). The other verses are my own harmonisations.

Here is a live recording with organist Lukas Jan Schoonbeek: https://soundcloud.com/henk-vogel/06-lied-673?in=henk-vogel/sets/huwelijksdienst-van-johan-en-alice-30-06-2017
