A spacious Adagio Fantasia on the beloved hymn for virtuoso solo piano. A clear singing melody unfolds through rich harmonies, flowing accompaniment, a luminous cadenza, and a broad concert climax.
In Humility, Our Savior is recast as an Adagio Fantasia in A major for solo piano. The hymn remains at the center, surrounded by warm inner voices, wide-ranging accompaniment, delicate upper-register color, and a sweeping cadenza. A spacious breath leads into the run before the hymn returns in a broader voice. The original Pianoteq recording lasts 4:30.
Playing this arrangement
Keep the hymn melody clear through the changing textures. Voice the accompaniment quietly, treat the high notes with tenderness, and give the written breath into the cadenza room to speak. Reserve the fullest sound for the grand arrival, then let the closing pages settle into stillness.

How difficult is In Humility, Our Savior?
Virtuoso / advanced concert level. This setting calls for confident octave and chord voicing, broad arpeggios, sextuplet passagework, independent inner voices, and sensitive pedal control. The quiet high-register writing is as important as the broad climax.
These are descriptive playing levels, not examination grades. Preview the score and listen to the complete recording to judge the demands for your own hands and experience.
