Hymn Tune Kingsfold, I Heard the voice of Jesus Say, Michael T. C. Hey, Saint Patricks Cathedral

Hymn Tune Kingsfold (I heard the voice of Jesus Say) played by Michael T. C. Hey. He is Assistant Director of Music at Saint Patrick s Cathedral in Manhattan and is represented by Phillip Truckenbrod Concert Artists. Michael Hey realized a modulating interlude that Gerre Hancock used use in the early 1990s. I think I remembered how Dr. Hancock structure the interlude. It would be used as the choir was ascending the steps of Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue at the start of Mass. The form I remember was Ostinato in the pedal, modulating through the circle of fifths, over a stepwise chordal pattern in the coming down on the tutti and re harmonizing the final verse. All that was missing was the trebles of the boy choir singing a descant.
