The tune, "DUKE STREET" is most often associated with the lyrics "Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun" written by Isaac Watts in 1719. The tune, however, was first published in 1793 and attributed to John Warrington Hatton. However, this tune now accompanies many hymn titles. Perhaps you are familiar with "I Know that My Redeemer Lives", "Shout for the Blessed Jesus Reigns", or "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord" (Song of Mary), all of which have been paired to "DUKE STREET". In fact, looking through various hymnals I found an additional six hymn titles that have been "married" to John Hatton's music.
This set of seven variations does not try to interpret the lyrics of the hymn, but provides many different musical settings based on the melody of the tune. It all culminates in the final Variation with a grand full organ interpretation of the hymn.
