Program Notes:
Walter C. Smith (1821-1908) must have drawn his inspiration for this great hymn from I Timothy 1:17, where the apostle Paul writes, “Unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory.” The tune most frequently associated with these words is the traditional Welsh hymn melody St. Denio. The arranger has created a majestic fanfare, based upon the first six notes of the original melody, which acts as an introduction and finale to this brilliant two verse setting.
