Todd, Will - God is Love / Love Divine (from Three jazz hymns)

The Three jazz hymns were arranged for Andrew Earis and choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London for various services and BBC broadcasts from that church. This compound-time arrangement of 'God is Love' (tune: Blaenwern), which can also be sung to the words of Charles Wesley’s hymn 'Love Divine', should be sung with energy and momentum so that the ‘three feel’ is always there.

The hymns can be performed using the supplied piano part or embellished using the chord symbols above. Double bass may also be used in addition to piano, again following the supplied chord symbols, and parts for optional jazz ensemble are available (see www.boosey.com/JazzHymns). Performers of these hymns should feel free to include the congregation or audience in imaginative ways.
