Come Thou Long Expected Jesus (with Mozart Sonata)
This piano arrangement combines the beautiful hymn tune Hyfrydol with Mozart’s gentle theme from Sonata in A Major, K. 331. The arrangement begins with a presentation of Mozart's theme and then in measure 9 you will hear the Hyfrydol tune performed in a Mozart manner; in other words, I used the same texture found in the sonata, with the left hand bass line mirroring the right hand melody while the inner voices play a repeated note. Later on you will hear Hyfrydol again but this time with broken triplet chords in the left hand, which were very common in the late eighteenth century. Be sure to play these with a very light wrist and emphasize the first note of each group for that beautiful classical effect! This arrangement is a perfect church prelude performance as it quiets down the hearts of the congregants in preparation for worship, but of course you can also use it as an offertory or a postlude. CHECK OUT the score previews to determine if this arrangement is the right fit for you! LISTEN to the full recording below!
