Topic: Swedish Hymn Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment (Organteq 2)
I found a beautiful Swedish hymn that is often sung at funerals in Sweden and here in Finland (Swedish-speaking Finns)
It has become very popular in the United States too.
I use some mournful sounds (stops) The lyrics talk about hope and a better future. In the second verse I use a little tremolo in the sound This is just an example of how very different sound combinations you can get with Organteq 2. Almost unimaginable possibilities
Please read the description after the video
Description
"Day by Day (and with Each Passing Moment)" is a Christian hymn written in 1865 byLina Sandell several years after she had witnessed the tragic drowning death of her father. It is a hymn of assurance used in American congregational singing.
Sandell-Berg was a prolific Swedish hymn writer. Two of her hymns, "Day By Day" and ”Children of the Heavenly Father", are widely known in the United States. The earliest and most popular English translation of "Day by Day" is byAndrew L. Skoog, a Swedish immigrant to the United States. It started appearing in American hymnals in the latter half of the 1920s, and its popularity has increased since then. The tune was composed in 1872 by Oscar Ahnefelt. The hymn's Swedish name is "Blott en dag" (its first three words), meaning "just one day" or "just another day". In Sweden and Finland, it is popular at funerals.
The Swedish text begin Blott en dag ett ögonblick i sänder, so the videoname is my own free translation. Just one day one moment at a time
Day by Day (and with Each Passing Moment) can be found on Youtube for those who are interested in the beautiful text in English.
All the best everyone
