All Glory, Laud and Honor - SAB
"All Glory Laud and Honor" is an English translation by the Anglican clergyman John Mason Neale of the Latin hymn "Gloria, laus et honor" which was written by Theodulph of Orléans in 820. It is a Palm Sunday hymn, based on Matthew 21:1–11 and the occasion of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. "All Glory, Laud and Honor" is sung to the hymn tune ST. THEODULPH, which is also known as "Valet will ich dir geben." Melchior Teschner wrote this as a hymn for the dying, as his village was decimated by the plague in 1613. It was first published, along with a second melody, as Ein andechtiges Gebet, Liepzig, 1614.
There is some resemblance between this tune and "Sellinger's Round" a sixteeth-century round dance. Also, it is related to the Genevan Psalter setting for Psalm 3. J.S. Bach used this melody in the St. John Passion and Cantata 95 and prepared two harmonizations for the Choralgesange, along with including two organ settings of it in his Miscellaneous Preludes. For further information, see Hymnal Companion to the Lutheran Book of Worship.
My arrangement was heavily influenced by the Classical (1750-1820) composers and even gives a nod to part of Mozart's "Requiem" which I had been singing at the time.
