Love Divine

This sparkling rendition of the hymn tune BEECHER features the melody in a syncopated 5/4 with martellato accents at the end of each phrase. The middle verse moves to 4/4, with the melody rung in the bass with treble bell accompaniment. For the last verse, the melody appears with full chords in the treble and a rhythmic malleted bass accompaniment. Percussion is optional but adds character to this solid setting.
