I've mentioned before that I am a convert to Catholicism, having been raised Southern Baptist. Perhaps the most popular hymn of my childhood was The Old Rugged Cross.
I’ve played Hosea, by Gregory Norbert, for many years, but never wrote out an arrangement. It is a wonderful hymn and us useful at times throughout the year, not just for Lent.
Just in time for Father's Day. This is a pretty easy arrangement in keys C and D major. I found that this piece was pretty easy last year, but I didn't get it arranged in time for the holiday.
This may just be the most gentle piece I have ever arranged. I usually select more energetic music for Mass and have avoided this song in the past because it is so slow.
