lt Jesus Lover of My SoulKen Berg. The familiar
words of Charles Wesley are treated to a thoughtful,
new musical setting by respected musician, Ken
Berg. Beginning in E minor with treble voices in an
unadorned unison the voices soon break into parts,
eventually opening into 4 parts. The men join the
chorus on the theme, eventually letting the women
rest and move into a 4-part portion of their own. All
resume together and end quietly in E Major.
