 PRELUDE: “The Lord’s Prayer”, composed by Albert Hay Malotte in 1935, was by far his most famous composition. It remains a standard for classical and choral performers from weddings to funerals. Best known for his religious music, Malotte was a highly versatile musician who also worked extensively in Hollywood. He wrote scores for Academy Award-winning Disney shorts and was a prolific film music composer during the 1930s and 1940s, for which he received no credit. Although there are many renditions, Andrea Bocelli with the Tabernacle Choir in Temple Square is sweeping and powerful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZIrnodc8LQ

 POSTLUDE: “Precious Lord, Take My Hand,” was composed by Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey in 1932, after a personal tragedy. This hymn is deeply meaningful and widely loved exemplifying comfort and faith. It was John Lewis’ favorite song and was sung by soloists and the congregation at his funeral on July 30, 2020, honoring his legacy through music. The jazz arrangement would have been performed after-hours in many establishments following the funeral.

 

PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND

 Precious Lord, take my hand

Lead me on, let me stand

I am tired, I'm weak, I am worn

Through the storm, through the night

Lead me on to the light

Take my hand, precious Lord

Lead me home

 

Instrumental

 

When my way grows drear

Precious Lord, linger near

When my life is almost gone

Hear my cry, hear my call

Hold my hand lest I fall

Take my hand, precious Lord

Lead me home
