In this second volume of the Ten Interpretations series, Jeffrey Blersch offers hymn introductions and harmonizations that thoughtfully reflect the character and message of each text and engage the congregation in vigorous singing. Whether shaping the penitential depth of AN WASSERFLÜSSEN BABYLON, highlighting the contemplative tone of FARLEY CASTLE, or capturing the urgency of STRAF MICH NICHT, Blersch tailors the musical language to the hymn’s themes and contours. Where specific stanzas are referenced, the music directly reflects the text, enriching, enlivening, and illuminating the congregation’s song.
