Review:
Fun and energetic are the perfect words to describe this upbeat arrangement from Karen Lakey Buckwalter. With a forceful malleted bass – set in a 3+3+2 rhythm – the beloved melody gets cast in a new and exciting light before a slower iteration comes in, set to interesting, intricate, and unexpected harmonies. The rhythmic feel of the opening returns to close out the piece in grand fashion. Be sure to add this to your next concert or worship service!
