At best, it's the 'Air' by Johann Sebastian Bach that can rival his setting 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude' in popularity: The final chorus from the Cantata BWV 147 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben' has become a really catchy tune, thanks to its simplicity and perfection, of which one can hardly get enough. This arrangement of this highlight of classical music is now perfectly suitable as a performance and concert piece for .piano trio.

This trio arrangement (for VIOLIN and CELLO duet with PIANO accompaniment) of the well-known hymn tune NETTLETON is a delightful piece for recitals and worship services. The CELLO and VIOLIN begin the first verse by alternately playing solo. Then the two instruments conclude the first verse by playing 2-part harmony. The second verse builds in intensity with 2-part harmony before returning to a more calming mood for the finale.

All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this arrangement an excellent choice for early-intermediate string players. The PIANO accompaniment is written for an intermediate player. The purchase price includes a 6-page combined score (grand staff) with all three parts on each page (VIOLIN, CELLO, and PIANO) plus separate 1-staff scores for the VIOLIN and CELLO (1 page each) and also a PIANO only score (3 pages).

This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection "Praise Him with Stringed Instruments, Book 1 (Collection of 10 Hymns for Violin, Cello, and Piano)."
