Fanfare Prelude on“A Mighty Fortress Is Our
God”based on the hymn by Martin Luther
composed by Jeffrey D. Waggoner
“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” was writtten by Martin Luther, an Augustinian monkwho became the founder of the Lutheran Church. It is believed it was written in 1529,and was translated into English in 1853 by Frederick H. Hedge. It has been one of themusical “rallying cries” of the Protestant movement for over 400 years. If you are of mygeneration, you may remember the television program “Davey and Goliath,” a stop-motion animation show about a young boy and his faithful dog, Goliath. It wasproduced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and always ended with abrass rendition of the hymn. (Incidentally, the shows were made by ClokeyProductions, who also created Gumby and his horse, Pokey!)
My maternal grandparents, Fred and Luetta Brindley, were deeply involved in St.John’s Lutheran Church in Port Clinton, Ohio – the small town on the shore of LakeErie where I was raised. My grandmother was director of the adult choir for manyyears, but I also remember her playing the piano to accompany the children’s singingfor the opening of Sunday School each week for all of us, before we went to ourrespective classrooms. My grandfather assisted with Holy Communion every monthfor many years as well. They were two of the most influential people of my life, and Iconsidered it an honor to provide this small tribute to their lives and Christian faith.
The piece is a grade 3 work that was successfully performed by my own high schoolband in 2000. Instrumentation is traditional except for the addition of a “Pad bass”part. For information about the use of Pad bass, go to Stephen Melillo’s web site atwww.stormworld.com. Melillo is the originator of this concept as well as one of thefinest composers of our time, and I recommend his music to you without reservation!
