hi --was checking out some music lists ..... please can anyone tell me

Der herr ist mein hirt by Schubert --
is this the same as

Gott ist mein hirt by Schubert ???

Thanks

The implication would be that they are the same pieces, but Schubert never used that title.....I think it's someone's own attempt to translate into German. Confused

damon,

What were those "music lists" you mentioned?

Hi Jason

I was checking out the Music List for Kings ..
-
May 24th ... it shows Der herr ist

but the C.D. ((( think it called Heavenly voices ))) shows schuberts setting as Gott ist ..
Hence wondered if they were sung to the same tune of if it was the same piece but worded differently ?

Bach's cantata BWV 112 is "Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt" or literally "the Lord is my faithful shepherd" so I guess if it's OK for Bach to interchange Gott for Der Herr then it's OK for King's! Shocked

I haven't been in the church for years, but I've got a feeling they were advertising recently in Church Times for an organist (or assistant?)

Crediton was the seat of the original diocese of Devon and Cornwall, though when that moved to Exeter, Crediton's church was considerably rebuilt.

I spent several days in Exeter a few years ago, but alas didn't have time to visit Crediton. (I did not have access to a car.) I did visit Ottery St. Mary's and that was certainly worth a good portion of an afternoon. Anyone with more info about Crediton is welcome...

Thanks, damon, you're too kind, but I've never heard nor heard of the Malcolm. Perhaps Lance can help here. I've seen him come up with some amazing knowledge.

Sorry Damon. Out of luck here too. Crying or Very sad

I'm betting this is George Malcolm, Master of Music at the Drome from 1947 to 1959.

http://www.westminstercathedral.org.uk/music/music_history.html

If I'm guessing correctly it's the sort of Magnificat they sing there every day at vespers, full-on stuff!
