Description
Tune: Werde Munter
Meter: 8.7. 8.7. 7.7. 8.8.
This contemporary hymn arrangement incorporates the mixolydian mode. Trivia: this is the same melody as used in Bach's well-known chorale, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," but because the rhythm of the melody is different, it's not very noticeable. A vocal/piano/guitar score is available for free download.
