Tune Information
Name: ST. THOMAS
Composer: Aaron Williams (1763)
Harmonizer: Lowell Mason, 1792-1872
Meter: 6.6.8.6
Key: F Major
Notes: St. 5 could be sung by a solo voice or an ensemble in order to set it off as God’s address to the congregation. A different voice might sing the difficult questioning text of st. 6, perhaps switching to the minor mode for this one stanza (F-minor, 4 flats). A short interlude could reestablish the major mode before the singing of st. 7. Guitar chaords do not correspond with keyboard harmony.
