However gruesome this might be to the non-believer, I think the tune actually fits the Major=hope paradigm. For a very interesting commentary on this tune, though, take a listen to Ives's setting of Matthew Arnold's sonnet, "West London." The entire setting draws its material from the hymn tune, culminating in a direct quotation from the hymn. One could argue that the direct quotation comes off as an overly optimistic outburst (I wouldn't take up this particular argument, but that is a story for another time). The quotation from the hymn seems so stylistically removed from the rest of the song that it seems to borrow not only the tune, but also the manner in which it might have been sung in a camp-revival meeting. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">_______________________________________________________________</span></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div>Matthew Shaftel</div><div>Editor,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>MTO - </i>a Journal of the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Society for Music Theory</i></div><div>Associate Professor of Music Theory</div><div>Florida State University</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></div></span> </div><br><div><div>On Oct 2, 2009, at 1:58 PM, <a href="mailto:vlschwarz@aol.com">vlschwarz@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Has anyone mentioned the hymn "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood"--which talks of blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins sung to the CLEANSING FOUNTAIN tune yet? <br> <br> Victoria Schwarz<br> Institute for the Arts<br> </font><!-- end of AOLMsgPart_0_941583f7-7a0b-4bff-8ebe-b3a59c43cdd9 --> _______________________________________________<br>Smt-talk mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Smt-talk@societymusictheory.org">Smt-talk@societymusictheory.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.societymusictheory.org/listinfo.cgi/smt-talk-societymusictheory.org">http://lists.societymusictheory.org/listinfo.cgi/smt-talk-societymusictheory.org</a><br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
