Hymn and Huh!

Thank you for being you & thank you for visiting! I'm continuing a new series on hymnology, and this is a triple-feature(!) broadcast wherein we will explore: (1) the History behind the hymn "Revive Us Again!"; (2) some Theory concerning Music, Poetry, and Conducting; (3) some Study prompts for y'all to keep growing closer to this hymn :) If you'd like to look closer at my Keynote slides, please consider looking out for a soon-to-come blog post via https://deopatriaelitteris.wordpress.com/ .

Thank you for being you & thank you for visiting! In this video, I'm commencing a new series on hymnology :) If you'd like to see a list of sources which I cited in this video (& comments I forgot to include), please consider checking out https://deopatriaelitteris.wordpress.com/2023/01/27/hymn-huh-ep-1-universal-music-duck-dynasty-mr-paul-vander-klay-mr-c-michael-patton-mr-boethius/ . And if you'd like to see some summaries of points & skip to particular sections, please check out the 'Some Timestamps' provided just below. I hope you'll enjoy the music & fodder for thought sprinkled throughout this piece! (Pssst...A not-so-secret-secret: for extra fun, around the 57th minute, I include a spontaneous 20-min. musical improv session.) I'm trying to up my YouTube game-- I recorded this with a Blue Yeti mic, and I'm looking into utilizing OBS for even better audio quality in the future. But I offer my sincerest apologies for this episode's low video quality. Yet again, I used iMovie as my editor; but I couldn't spare enough multi-GB hard drive space to upload this episode in terms of ProRes 4k 😅 P.S. If you'd like to support me in this project of mine (or related artistic and scholarly endeavors), I'm working on starting up a Patreon account or a Locals account. I'll aim to update this sentence with a link once I'm all set up :) -- Some Timestamps -- *** Thumbnail & An iMovie Jingle (00:00 - 00:57) *** Mission 1/2 -- Addressing 'What Is This New Series?'
