Transfiguration

Transfiguration is an original hymn tune that won first place in a hymn search by the Hymn Society of America in July of 1992. This new setting of Carl P. Daw Jr.'s text describes the transfiguration of the Lord and isa prayer that "our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless." Mr. Martinson has written two unison verses with organ accompaniment and concludes with a descant on the third and final verse. Although written for the feast of the Transfiguration, this lyric new hymn tune is appropriate for general use throughout the church year.
