Composed by Text: Charles Wesley / Music: Rowland H. Prichard. Arranged by Lyndell Leatherman. Celtic,Christian,Sacred. Score and parts. 61 pages. Leatherman Music Services #5775215. Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.829338).For most of us, Charles Wesley's "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" has traditionally been associated with the tune BEECHER. But if you are looking for a way to freshen up this classic hymn, may I offer this arrangement for your consideration. First, I wedded the text to the inspired Welsh tune: HYFRYDOL. Then I arranged the vocals in a flexible three-part format. Then I added a contemporary piano part with a bass line that can be played by the electric bass, and then I included the chord symbols for your guitarist(s). Finally, I orchestrated the piece for pretty much every instrument except trumpets and trombones (though they can adapt the clarinet and bassoon parts if you desire to add them in).
Besides being preachers and social reformers, the brothers John and Charles Wesley made enormous contributions to English hymnnody. John wrote a few hymns himself, but mainly translated Moravian texts and edited hymnbooks. Charles, on the other hand, wrote almost 9,000 poems, of which some 6,500 were hymn texts. With Isaac Watts, he stands at the pinnacle of importance in the shaping of English hymnody. Besides "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling," other Wesley hymns still in use today include "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing," "Rejoice, the Lord Is King," "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "A Charge to Keep I Have," "Arise, My Soul, Arise," "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus," "Soldiers of Christ, Arise," "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," and "Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing."
