lutheranhymnsIs the alto part fairly interesting?
Yes! There are lots of moving eighth notes and not too much repetition.
Who do we have to thank for this change of pace?
Several people. But the harmonization is mostly due to Bach (yes, that one--there are several). We'll run across it again.
What about the feminine rhymes?
silent/violent is pretty good. I also like compassion/fashion (used as a verb), in that they sort of look like they're not standalone root words, but the rhyme needs all those syllables (pass/fash? no.)
