Composed by Charles Wesley. Arranged by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Christian,Classical,Sacred. 14 pages. David Warin Solomons #3074541. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.579517).

Each of the instruments has its turn to play the tune or varied versions of it.
The key sequence is:

E flat major using the basic statement with additional passing notes and decorations, with soprano recorder taking the melody.  

It then moves up in the 2nd verse to F dorian with a slightly renaissance feel, with tenor recorder taking the melody.

The 3rd verse, with bass recorder on melody, goes on up to a jolly renaissance-style dance also in F Dorian, incorporating a mix of 3/4 and 6/8 rhythms.

The final verse goes back to the E flat major 4/4 version with additional decorations and passing notes, while also
 occasionally reminding the audience of the 6/8-style contra-rhythms of the

Dorian verses.
As you might expect, the alto recorder takes the melody here.

The pdf contains the score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
