Jesus Paid It All
SMS: An accompanied violin solo After a brief introduction in a different meter than originally composed the solo begins with a modified melody support by a rich harmonic palette in the piano. The second section continues in much the same manner with a melody that’s almost emblematic of an obbligato but keeps in character of the original tune. The Codetta section sets a tone of sweetness.
