Review:
A memorable, ear worm countermelody unifies three stanzas of the familiar hymn tune, BROTHER JAMES’ AIR. In the middle minor section, the melody moves to the bass against thumb damped treble chords. Then, the countermelody returns and leads us to a final triumphant statement. This compelling arrangement assures us that the Lord truly is our Good Shepherd, making it ideal for the Easter season as well as general occasions. 93 measures. Keys of Ab Major and C Major.
