Hello everyone,
As many of you know, Lent is upon us and I haven’t added one Lenten hymn to my site. This week I’ve added a hymn that just recently became a part of my repertoire. “Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted” has amazing lyrics and a haunting melody. I’ve lowered the key signature so it’s easier to sing. I hope you enjoy this Lenten hymn throughout the rest of March and beyond.
This week's video of this arrangement focus's on chord changes and phrasing. It is important to have certain notes heard more than others when you are playing the dulcimer. Much like a pianoist, we also play many notes at teh same time, but we want the notes within the melody to be very dominant even when you are playing full chords. Come check out the video!
God bless,
-Ben
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
’Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
’Tis the long expected prophet,
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
Proofs I see sufficient of it:
’Tis a true and faithful Word.
