DEN STORE HVIDE FLOK
Behold a Host, Arrayed in White
Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white,
Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright;
With palms they stand. Who is this band
Before the throne of light?
Lo, these are they, of glorious fame
Who from the great affliction came
And in the flood of Jesus' blood
Are cleansed from guilt and blame.
Now gathered in the holy place,
Their voices they in worship raise;
Their anthems swell where God doth dwell
Mid angels' songs of praise.
2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here;
But now, how glorious they must appear!
Those martyrs stand, a priestly band,
God's throne forever near.
So oft in troubled days gone by,
In anguish they would weep and sigh;
At home above the God of love
For aye their tears shall dry.
They now enjoy their Sabbath rest,
The paschal banquet of the blest;
The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board
Himself is Host and Guest.
3 Then hail! ye mighty legions, yea,
All hail! Now safe and blest for aye;
And praise the Lord, who with His Word
Sustained you on the way.
Ye did the joys of earth disdain,
Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain;
Farewell, now bring your sheaves and sing
Salvation's glad refrain.
Swing high your palms, lift up your song,
Yea, make it myriad voices strong:
Eternally shall praise to Thee,
God, and the Lamb belong.

Den Store, Kvite Flokk
Author: Hans A. Brorson; Elias Bix Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15100 First Line: Den store, kvite flokk me sjå Som tusen berg med nysnø på Lyrics: 1 Den store, kvite flokk me sjå Som tusen berg med nysnø på,
Med skog ikring, Av palmesving for Gud, - kvar er dei frå?
Det er den kjempeskare som Ut frå den store trengsla kom,
For dei ved blod Av lammet stod Reintvegne for Guds dom.
Der held dei no ein kyrkjegang Med jubelsong all dagen lang,
Med sæle ordI englekor, Med heilag harpeklang.
2 Vanvyrde gjekk dei her på jord, Men sjå dei no i vyrdnad stor
For trona stå Med kroner på I høge himmel kor.
Her tidt, når trengsla sårast brann, På deira kinner tårer rann,
Men Gud har deim Straks dei kom heim Avturka med si hand.
No held dei utan brot og brest Hjå Gud ein evig lauvsalsfest,
Og lammet då Ved livsens å Er både vert og gjest.
3 Til lukke, kjempesamling, då! Ja, tusenfald du lukke få,
For du var her Så tru især Og slapp så vel herfrå!
Du vyrde ikkje verdsens trøyst, Så kvil i Gud frå striden løyst!
Det du har sått Med sukk og gråt, Gjev haust med glederøyst.
Kved opp i høgd, slå palmetakt Og syng med himmelkraft og makt:
Lov vere deg, Lov æveleg - Vår Gud og lammet—sagt!

William Blake
1757 - 1827 Person Name: William Blake, 1757-1827 Author of "To See the World" in Singing the Living Tradition Blake, William, poet and painter, born 1757, and died 1827. Published Songs of Innocence in 1789, in which appeared a poem in 9 stanzas of 4 lines beginning. "Can I see another's woe" (Sympathy), and headed "On Another's Sorrow." (See also The Poems of William Blake, &c, Lond., W. Pickering, 1874, p. 105.) This poem is repeated in Martineau's Hymns, &c, 1873, and others.
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
====================
Blake, William, p. 1553, ii. Another poem from his Songs of Innocence is "To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love." In 1789 ed., p. 17, it is entitled "The Divine Image." The English Hymnal, 1906, No. 506, ranks it among General Hymns. It is certainly difficult to call it a hymn at all, or to assign it to any special purpose. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

Edvard Grieg
1843 - 1907 Person Name: E. H. Grieg, 1843-1907 Harmonizer of "DEN STORE HVIDE FLOK" in Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Edvard Hagerup Grieg Born at Bergen, Norway, of Scottish descent, son of a merchant and vice-consul in Bergen, his mother was a music teacher. He became a pianist and composer, with his standard classical repertoire known worldwide. He developed Norwegian folk music into his own compositions, helping to develop a national musical identity. As a child his mother taught him piano from age six. He attended several schools. His uncle, a Norwegian violinist, recognized his nephew’s talents at age 15 and urged his parents to send him to the Leigzig Conservatory in Germany. He enrolled there and concentrated on piano. He enjoyed the many concerts and recitals given in Leipzig. He disliked the discipline of the conservatory course of study, but he loved the organ, mandatory for piano students. In 1860 he survived a life-threatening lung disease, pleurisy and tuberculosis. Throughout life, his health was impaired by a destroyed left lung and disformity of his thoracic spine. He suffered numerous respiratory infections, and ultimately developed combined heart and lung failure. He was admitted many times for various spas and sanatoria in both Norway and abroad. Several of his doctors became close friends. In 1861 he made his debut as a concert pianist at Karlshamm, Sweden. He finished Leipzig studies in 1862 and held a concert in his hometown, playing Beethoven’s ‘Pathetique’ sonata. In 1863 he went to Copenhagen, Denmark, remaining there three years. There he met Danish composers and a fellow Norwegian composer, Rikard Nordraak, who wrote the Norwegian National Anthem. When Nordraak died in 1866, Grieg composed a funeral march in his honor. In 1867 Grieg married his first cousin, Nina Hagerup. Their only child, Alexandra, was born the following year. She died from meningitis at age two. In 1868 he wrote his Piano Concerto in A-minor. It was performed by Edmund Nuepert in Copenhagen because Grieg was in Norway at the time, fulfilling other commitments. In 1868 Franz Liszt, not yet having met Grieg, wrote a testimonial of him, resulting in Grieg’s obtaining a travel grant. The two met in Rome in 1870. Each was impressed with the other’s musical accomplishments. Grieg had close ties with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and became its leader 1880-1882. In 1888 Grieg met Tchaikovsky in Leipzig. He was struck by Tchaikovsky’s sadness. Tchaikovsky praised Grieg’s music. The Norwegian government awarded Grieg a pension. In 1903 he made gramophone recordings of his piano music in Paris, France. He also made live piano music rolls for the Hupfeld Phonola piano-player system and Weldt-Mignon reproducing system. He also worked with the Aeolian Company for its ‘Autograph Metro-style’ piano roll series, wherein he indicated the tempo mapping of many of his pieces. In 1906 he met pianist and composer, Percy Grainger, in London. Grainger was an admire of Grieg’s music, and they developed a strong empathy for each other. Grieg wrote of Grainger: “I have written Norwegian dances that no one in my country can play, and here comes this Australian who plays them as they ought to be played. He is a genius that we Scandinavians cannot do other than love.” Grieg and his wife considered themselves Unitarians, and attended that church denomination. When Grieg died after a long illness, at age 64, his funeral drew more than 30,000 people in his hometown, who came out to honor him. His own funeral march, in honor of Nordraak, was played, along with a 2nd march, by his friend, Johan Halvorsen, who married Grieg’s niece. Grieg was cremated, with ashes entombed in a mountain crypt. Later, his wife’s were placed with his.

Small Church Music
Editors: Hans Adolf Brorson Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
