Topic: Hymn, I cannot count them all. (Pianoteq, Organteq 2)

Hymn
I cannot count them all/Jag kan inte räkna dem alla

Lina Sandell wrote the hymn "Jag kan icke räkna dem alla" in 1880. The melody was later composed by Albert Lindström in 1889.

The hymn is based on a comparison between God’s acts of goodness and the countless stars in the sky. They cannot be counted — one can only pause in awe and give thanks.

Instruments used:

First part:
soloist Electrical Guitar Electrified + Syngular Mixed Choir
(In background with the choir a little bit of trombone)

Second part:
Organteq 2 Baroque Cathedral (New registration not used before, love these possibilities)

Third part:
Classical Guitar Gentle alone

Fourth part:
Organteq 2, short Postlude

All the best, everyone

Hi Stig!

I hope all is well with you. I think part 1 is my favorite of your four-part series. Part 2 was nice. It was like a warm blanket over my shoulders.

Thanks for sharing,
Ken

A beautiful and deeply moving arrangement of Lina Sandell's classic hymn!
The four-part structure works so well to take the listener on a journey—moving from the modern, atmospheric choir and electric guitar tones into the grand majesty of the Baroque organ, and then bringing it home with that intimate classical guitar. The registration on Organteq 2 sounds magnificent.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring tribute!

Thank you ken for your comment.
Glad you like it.
I’m not doing well, but I’m taking it one day at a time. Very tired and thin...

Best wishes,

Stig
