'Abide with Me', three versions

Guy Cundell · From: More idle ramblings from South Australia

I am lucky to have as a PSG mentor Ed Bates, a masterful player from Melbourne, Australia. I am also fortunate that we both regularly use the Sibelius scoring program. Our process is that I will write an arrangement and send it to him for comment and criticism and he returns various edits that help me develop my thinking. With his permission, I have attached the following examples of some products of this process that may be useful to others.

My arrangement of â€˜Abide with Meâ€™ is based on the harmony that appears in the standard Ancient and Modern Hymnbook, as is his first edit. These arrangements are for E9 with a set up of 3 pedals and 5 levers. A couple of splits are employed and are designated as â€˜A/Bbâ€™ which is A pedal with the vertical lever on my Rittenberry. The other is â€˜B/F#â€™, being B pedal with LKL two semitones tone down on my setup.

Edâ€™s second arrangement is for a simpler copedent using 2 pedals and two levers and he has adjusted the original harmony accordingly.

I hope these are of interest.
