Again, The Day Of Holy Rest [Hymn] - Eddings/Schreiner. Free. Alexander Schreiner who was Tabernacle Organist for 55 years wrote the text for this hymn. He asked me to write the music. He was perfectly capable of composing the music for it himself! As his student and long time friend, I was honored to do it. There are nine wonderful hymns by Dr. Schreiner in the 1985 Hymnal.

As Joseph Was A-Walking -Franklin Eddings [II] Published by Warner Bros. in "Three Carols For The Nativity" [GB9912] $7.95. "Highly Recommended" in THE AMERICAN ORGANIST review of new music. This prelude on a southern Appalachian Christmas carol is based on an early American tune often sung to the words of the Cherry Tree carol. The theme, an 8-measure pentatonic melody, occurs three times...the second time as a canon between bass and soprano. A lyric interlude introduces the third time. A plaintive opening and closing reminisces on Christmas at a simple whiteboard chapel in the rural South. Recorded on the Mormon Tabernacle Organ by Clay Christiansen.
