Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
"Dear Lord and Father of Mankind" is from a selection of hymns scored for brass quintet suitable for Weddings and other celebrations. All arrangements include a conductor’s score, full set of parts, optional part for organ and words.
The words are from a long narrative poem, “The Brewing of Soma.” It describes Vedic priests going into the forest and drinking themselves into a stupor with a concoction called “soma.” They try to have a religious experience and contact the spirit world. It is after setting that scene that Whittier draws his lesson: “Dear Lord, and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways…” This hymn is as relevant today as when it was written. In a modern context, it speaks to the drug culture, and those looking for an “experience” to prove the reality of God.
