2 0045231 Wondrous Love speaks to the far reaches and depths that Jesus traveled to demonstrate His love for us. In this arrangement of the Sacred Harp tune, never allo the music to feel rushed, give it space for reflection and contemplation. As the introduction egins, listen for the tension and release of the suspension, hich serves as a unifying element throughout this arrangement. Lean into the tension (D6) and aay from the release (C6) each time. Shape phrases musically and thoughtfully, giving attention to the e and flo of the melodic line. At the key change, alance the ass clef chime melody ith the moving accompaniment figures in the trele, keeping the eighth notes light and distant. As the opening tension and release patterns return at measure 49, allo the music to carefully fade aay, as if it is quietly disappearing into the mist.
