I love the meter guide in the back of the hymnal. As ward choir director for four different wards over the years, it has been my best friend. I can take beautiful lyrics and match them with tunes that I like better or that are better known to my dear choirs. The first “mash-up” in the hymnal I can remember being aware of is the lyrics of “God Is Love” with the tune of “For the Beauty of the Earth.” I’ve sung this one as a solo a couple times and when I was asked to put something together that had a theme of “Love,” I knew it was time to write down an arrangement for a choir. The piano is intentionally sparse, for ease of play and to let the voices really carry the message.
