Hymn tunes are funny things. They are compact little musical expositions that are given a few dozen measures to introduce and develop a theme. But more than that they are to be sung. A hymn tune may be musical genius in miniature, but if a congregation can’t sing it, it has missed its mark. I wrote the tune ALLITERATION as an alternative to RUSTINGTON. It gave me a chance to work out a few musical ideas, and now it’s your chance to pair it with an 8787D text and give it a try in a real life setting. Listen to the MP3, download and print the PDF, and then write a text to go with it!

Don’t tempt me.
I was inspired by the directions for Simon’s homework that happen to be sitting here.
My text is called, “How To Make A Desk Divider (Non-required).”
How to make a desk divider (non-required) for third grade,
Lay cardboard pieces one inch apart on the floor or table;
wrap the edges with the duct tape, the tape acts as a hinge;
for easy handling, fold piece A over BC, and D over A.
21 minutes.
That was truly inspiring. It will be sung in grade schools throughout the world!
