Matériel : Vocal Score
Stop and take notice of this novel arrangement of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” It isn't like any you have heard before. Glenn Pickett's accompaniment grabs your attention first but the vocal lines follow suitquickly. His playful reharmonization should satisfy but then he launches into a quasi-counterpoint that is simply heavenly. The rhythmic return brings us home with joy in our hearts.
