A beautiful hymn tune by James Leith Macbeth Bain (b. Scotland, c. 1840; d. Liverpool, England, 1925), who was a healer, mystic, and poet known simply as Brother James. My arrangement for piano captures the essence of this simple, folk-like melody whilst breathing new life into it. Appropriate for general worship, funerals and recitals. Intermediate.

Brother James' Air is a much loved setting of a poem based on the 23rd Psalm. This arrangement is a gently modernized harmonization of the traditional tune. It incorporates all 5 verses, beginning in Bb major and modulating to C major. (The 3rd verse is partially set in Bb minor.) Although arranged for advanced piano, it is not overly difficult. It would make a lovely prelude or special music for any church service.

Note: This arrangement is included in my collection, “In Loving Memory,� also available on this site.
