Performance Notes:
Originally published in 1829, this early American hymn has been a standard in the church and connected with multiple texts (the original is above). The original text speaks to prayer and praise being rewarded with showers of “holy manna” (food from Heaven). While manna, biblically, was described as specifically a food, it may also be a metaphor more generally for heavenly blessings.
The music attempts to conjure the feeling of the music played on Early American folk instruments—perhaps fiddle, dulcimer, improvised drums. While there is some notated ornamentation, it is reasonable to add tasteful embellishment or to simplify passages which may not be easily playable by the musicians.
Vibraphone is preferred, but this may be played on piano, harp, or electronic keyboard. As noted in the music, the pedal should be used liberally during the slower part of the piece. When played on the vibraphone, softer mallets preferred for the opening section, and harder mallets for the faster 6/8 section.
The cajón (literally meaning “box” or “crate”) is a Peruvian instrument which may not be so familiar. It can be a reasonable stand-in for a drum set (minus cymbals). Hands and fingers tapping various parts of the box yield sounds surprisingly similar to drums with heads. This may also be played on a drum set, or even just low and high toms. The notated part is mostly a guide. The player may choose to play fewer or more notes, but the basic “groove” should be maintained.
