Here is one that I submitted. Not much of a chance but it was a fun exercise.

Copelius, your song's bass line looks great.

Maybe I should just take my own hymnbook to church, with the old bass line penciled in. I can hit the low F anytime, too, and maybe the E but not much lower than that. My dad used to sing an old song called 'When the Big Profundo Sang Low C' in ward talent shows.
Copelius, I'll have to get a musical friend play your hymn for me. While the bass line looks promising, I'm afraid my wife would boycott the high soprano notes in the refrain. She doesn't like to power up that high because she has to get loud to do it (although a couple of ladies who sit near us could easily get there).

Originally posted by creekster View PostThat was my understanding, too. But some of the changes really took a lot of color out of the songs. For example, I Need Thee Every Hour and Oh My Father were both better in Ab and both sound dull and less interesting in G, IMO.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Originally posted by Copelius View PostThe key changes, as I understand were to help more pianists be able to play. The more flats or sharps, the more difficult or at least intimidating the song can be. It is interesting to note how different keys are more or less difficult to sing in. For example, in the key of D, my voice doesn't always want to finish when I go down to D2. But in the key of B flat I can sing the Bflat1 without excessive difficulty. It is written in Mahler's 8th and also in Mack's "The Prodigal," both of which were fun to sing. I know both Mack and Ron Staheli have transposed songs on the fly up or down a half step and it has helped intonation. The whole thing is quite fascinating.
