Elvet Banks

Elvet Banks

Elvet Banks is a modern hymn tune, in the somewhat unusual meter of 87.87.87.87.7, set in the Lutheran Service Book of 2006 for the hymns:
* "To Jordan came the Christ, our Lord", recommended for use in Epiphany [cite web
url=http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=11019|title=Worship Planning with LSB
publisher=LCMS
accessdate=2007-11-30] and set as an alternative to the sixteenth century chorale tune "Christ unser Herr"
* "May God bestow on us His grace", recommended for use in Lent [cite book
title = Creative Worship for the Lutheran Parish (Series C, Part 2)
publisher = Concordia Publishing House
date = 2007 ] and set as an alternative to the older tune "Es Wolle Gott uns gnärdig sein".

The meter in this tune and its texts is also unusual in that most "8.7.8.7"-derived material (such as in Blaenwern and Hyfrydol) tends to have a strong, trochaic foot, whereas this has a gentler, iambic foot.
