Earth below is teeming- Princethorpe

John Samuel Bewley Monsell was born in Ireland and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was ordained a priest in the Anglican church and served parishes in Ireland and England. He published 11 volumes of poetry and 300 hymns, including this one.

Two tunes are offered on this site - Harvest has a chorus, Princethorpe does not.

Princethorpe was composed by William John Pitts (1829-1903).  He was born in Tansor, near Oundle, Northamptonshire, the son of an organ builder. He was a talented muscian from an early age, and was a church organist from the age of 14, at Elton Church, Huntingdonshire and at Brompton Oratory, Kensington. He composed both hymns and secular songs.

The other tune is Harvest, also available on this site.

This popular harvest festival hymn appears in many hymn books; this is a simple arrangement of melody and chords, with the chord-based musician in mind.

Key: Eb major
