This familiar hymn tune has been creatively arranged in a bold and lively setting with Quarter = 100, accompanied by the expression marking which reads: Joyful fun! The engaging melody is mostly rung in the 6’s and 7’s with a few phrases being shared in the 4th and 5th octaves. A few TD, HD, and echoes are nicely placed for interest. The tempo slows to a more broad and elegant section featuring all octaves in a fully rung verse plus a G6/A6 trill is added for a very exciting ending! This is a fresh yet solid and accessible title to add to your group’s repertoire!
