May Songs of the Angels CWB II 156

This is yet another funeral song, this time Bob Dufford‘s adaptation of In paradisum.

CWB II just gives the refrain, so if you want the whole song with all the verses you’ll have to buy it at OCP, where the text is in their preview.

The range of songs just for funeral liturgies emphasises what a tremendous source volume one of CWB II is. This song also is a reminder of how maddening the lack of chords symbols is. The keyboard accompaniment at OCP is exactly the same arrangement by Dan Schutte, but with the chord symbols – so they had to do actual work to strip them away to disadvantage guitarists and keyboard players who use chords – absolutely maddening.

I’ve only done a backing for the refrain as found in CWB II.
