Learning Thine Be the Glory for Low and High D Whistle

I’m recording this during the week before Easter. I wanted to share a couple classic Easter hymns this week. In this video I’ll introduce Thine Be the Glory.

I transposed and transcribed the hymn so we could play it on our D whistles.

I’ll walk us through the hymn, and we’ll then talk about any difficult sections and expressing it. After this I’ll share a bit of the history of the hymn.

This hymn uses words written by the Swiss composer Edmond Budry combined with music by Handel’s from his Oratorio Judas Maccabeus.
