Thy Strong Word: Partita on "Ebenezer" (Reformation Partitas No. 5)
The sturdy tune EBENEZER receives an extensive treatment in this five-movement partita by Benjamin M. Culli.
The sturdy tune EBENEZER receives an extensive treatment in this five-movement partita by Benjamin M. Culli. The first movement can function as an alternate hymn harmonization. The Meditation is lovely and sweet, creating a surprising but engaging mood for the tune. The Alla Marcia is regal, the Scherzo playful. The thrilling finale, a toccata, is challenging and requires great endurance, but is absolutely rewarding.
Besides “Thy Strong Word,” this tune is also associated with the texts “Once to Every Man and Nation” and “O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus.”
