Jerusalem - by Hubert Parry

Dear friends of PSR

Every year - around Christmas - I have a go at this tremendous and mythical song. And I really try to improve my playing as the years pass by, faster and faster. In the beginning it was hard to recognize the song, I guess. But from year to year I feel the song is coming through...

This year I finally reached the conclusion that maybe my ordeal is at its end. My abilities at the keyboard  go no further. This is - unfortunately - as good as it gets, in my hands

Is it a Christmas hymn? Maybe, maybe not. But I believe it captures the essence of faith and spirit of these wonderful days of December when the seasons are turning once more.

Here is my own transcripted version of the song:

Wonderfully powerful performance of this rousing and inspiring hymn Torben, a real Last Night of the Proms classic. Very much enjoyed your performance. Tim

Dear Toril, Richard and Tim

Thanks a million. As I said - I feel my mission is accomplished. Now it is up to others to continue to work on this great song.
