For part 1, click here. What is disappointing is that the bass part in the piano part is crotchet notes being the harmonic bass. See MUS 004. Pianist will find playing the music much more of a relief than a bass line that is more complicated. This is because the…
The musical style of Hope Is Here is similar to Blessed Be Your Name (Matt Redman version). Similar in the sense that the music is best sung syncopated, and there is not that much gap between phrases to take breath.
