Resignation (original arrangement)

Yesterday was Maundy Thursday and at the evening’s tenebrae service, I played this tune. I never posted a video of the original orchestrated version, but I did post a video of the piano solo I made of the same tune (see https://hiltonkeanjones.com/2023/05/19/resignation-2/). I really like this orchestrated version. I actually like all my orchestrated folk tune arrangements but there’s no sheet music market for that. Ah well…hope you enjoy “watching paint dry” while you listen. The second verse is my own compositional contribution (a restatement of the tune but in the the relative minor for you theory buffs).
