General Information

Title: Lord, we confess our numerous faults
Composer: Maurice Greene or, more likely WIlliam Tans'ur
Tune: BANGOR
Lyricist: Isaac Watts

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB

Genre: Sacred, Hymn   Meter: 86. 86 (C.M.)

Language: English
Instruments: a cappella or Keyboard
Published: Harmony of Zion, 1734

Description: Although one source attributes this tune to the XVIIIth century English organist Maurice Greene (1696 - 755), which is plausible because Greene almost certainly would have been acquainted with the William Tans'ur, editor of Harmony of Zion, 1734, the collection in which it first appears. However, the tune apparently lacks attribution in the source, and Tans'ur appears to generally be assumed to have been the composer. (Noel Stoutenburg)
