Although a part for flute (or violin) is provided to emphasize the hymn tune, there are other creative instrumental opportunities to explore. Use a cello or bassoon for the bass accompaniment line. The organist is encouraged to experiment with different registrations and colors. The tenors will want to be well warmed-up, and the occasional tenuous bass section will appreciate the support from the keyboard. The Flute and Violin parts are optional. .
