Description
This setting of Dear Lord and Father of Mankind uses the noble tune “Repton” by Sir Hubert Parry, expertly arranged for brass band by Gordon Langford. Unlike the more common Frederick Maker setting, this version emphasizes the grand, English Cathedral style of Parryâs original hymn. Langfordâs orchestration builds from a quiet, reverent opening to a glorious and unified ensemble climax. This edition is provided in a clear manuscript format and is a standout choice for church services or hymn-tune contests.
