Last night I finished my hymn tune BEAUDRY (87. 87. 87) and set it to the text, "Jesus, Lord of Life Eternal" - a translation, by John Mason Neale from the Greek, of Ode IV from the Canon for Ascension Day, by Joseph of the Studium. This is an excellent text that has gone largely forgotten.
There are three harmonizations, one rather straighforward, one a small elaboration on the first, and a third more striking harmonization that also has an accompanying descant.
The PDF file has these three harmonizations, plus two melody only scores, one with the descant and one without the descant (also printed more narrowly for use as an insert).
The MP3 sound file plays the first harmonization on organ alone, then with voices and full organ, then the second harmonization with voices and less than full organ, then the third harmonization with voices and full organ but no descant, and finally the third harmonization with voices, descant, and full organ.
