Two settings of Old 100th

From Fruhauf Music Publications: Two Baroque settings of a familiar hymn tune, Old 100th, often associated with the text of a traditional English doxology.

Henry Purcell’s Voluntary offers two verses that feature fugal points of imitation and cantus firmus statements of the melody. The second score is a Baroque simulacrum from the publisher’s library, set in the form of a chorale prelude; it is based on the same tune, but presented in the triple meter of its Germanic source chorale melody.
