COMPOSER NOTESThe settings of the hymn tune What Wondrous Love contained in this octavo wereoriginally composed as chorale-like responses to various scenes of a larger compositionentitled The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to John. They functioned much likethe chorale responses that J.S. Bach inserted into his passion settings. Verses two andthree make use of the Latin hymn tune Crux fidelis with an English text as a counterpointto the hymn What Wondrous Love. The congregation as their response to the passion, sangverse 5 when this passion setting was used at St. Meinrad on Good Friday.
These settings would be appropriate for a funeral Mass or a wake service, as well as partof a Lenten service. It would also be appropriate for the Sunday after Easter with itstheme of divine mercy. It could be used as a piece during the preparation of the giftswhen the readings include the theme of God’s love.
For parishes with an SAB choir the following adaptations are suggested:In verse 1, the Tenor I part would be played by a solo instrument; and the Bass part bythe organ, or another solo instrument. In verses 2 and 3, the treble (tenor) clef parts couldbe sung by the women’s voices with the men singing the bass clef parts. In verse 4, theTenor I part could be sung by the Sopranos and the Tenor II part sung by the Altos. In theCoda, the same arrangement as indicated above for verse 4 could be used.
