More information

GREELEY, composed by Roy Hopp (PHH 11) in 1984 for the Psalter Hymnal, was first sung on tour by the Dordt College Concert Choir on March 31, 1985. Hopp named the tune after Greeley, Colorado, where his wife studied for a time. A classically designed tune (in which lines 1, 2, and 4 are similar and line 3 provides a suitable contrast), GREELEY is in the Aeolian mode and is well harmonized for part singing.
