Crown Him with Many Crowns is set to George J. Elvey's Diademata tune from 1868, one of the most ceremonially stirring hymn melodies in the Anglican tradition. On a steel tongue drum the broad, sweeping phrases resonate with a majestic warmth, the bright ring of the instrument giving each crown of notes a satisfying clarity. A rewarding hymn for players who enjoy confident, forward-moving melody.
How to play Crown Him with Many Crowns on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Crown Him with Many Crowns.
