ONE AND ONLY (A Capella Mix) Trad. Arr. Stephen Arthur Allen

This arrangement of the traditional Easter Hymn 'Lasst uns erfreuen' (Let us Rejoice) of 1623, attributed to Friedrich Spee, resets the famous tune as a unison - 2 part - 3 part - unison round for any number of voices.

The second verse 2-part round entries and third verse 3-part entries are indicated by 'blinks' in the onscreen lyrics. The 2 part entry is at the half line. The 3 part entries are on each beat. My hope is that the deep theological implication behind these unfurling canons will be sensed as much by the heart as the mind.
