Description
The subtitle of this piece, published by Anglo Music is "A Fantasy on the Hymn Tune ‘Helmsley’ "
Composer Philip Sparke was inspired by the hymn tune, Helmsley, which has a long association with the Methodist Church's great Advent hymn, "Lo! He comes with Clouds Descending". Helmsley has been described as ‘probably the greatest musical achievement of Methodism’, though its origins are mired in mystery and the true origins of the tune may never be known.
Performed at St. Mary's Church, Burghfield, Berkshire, UK on 4th December 2021
