The 18th-century poem, Jesus Christ, the Apple Tree, found its way into an American hymnal compiled by Joshua Smith in 1784. Most often classified as a carol. A soprano soloist introduces the simple melody which is then harmonized in verse 2 and passed down to the tenor line in verse 3. Verse 4 finds the melody transposed up a third, then embellished by a soprano descant on the final verse. Duration: 2:00.
