Note from the arranger
“There Is a Fountain” is set to a simple, folksy accompaniment reminiscent of the tune’s American folk origin. The verse and chorus are followed by a tag line and then there is a key change into “The Cleansing Wave,” a less familiar hymn, but certainly sweet and endearing. The two complete verses and choruses feature swift scale patterns, switch-off arpeggios, and a descant. Rich color chords in the interlude lead to “Jesus Paid It All.” Delicate, high rolled chords set off the melody to good effect. After the chorus, complete with more resonant chords, another tag line from “There Is a Fountain” brings in the coda. Included in the file are the full score, three parts, detailed performance notes, and lyrics.
