Ludwig Van Beethoven/Mary Crawford
4 octaves, Level EM
This transcription of a solo song is especially suitable for those quiet moments in a service of worship, such as an offeratory or communion but would be appropriate anytime. The walking bass line, shared by the tenor and bass parts, is moderately challenging. The treble parts, which are basically chordal in nature, are technically easier, but present the challenge of long phrases with a smooth sustained legato. The piece, which is of medium technical difficulty, can provide great musical and spiritual satisfaction to both the performer and the listener.
