M.U.S.I.C:  Did you know that the anthem this morning, "A Lenten Walk" is an arrangement of "Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley?"  An arrangement is what a composer does with a hymn or other melody to make it sound more interesting than the original.  Usually, the tune remains the same although sometimes the rhythm will be slightly different.  Sometimes, one or two notes of the melody are modified.  The resulting anthem is familiar to the congregation, yet provides an opportunity to hear something known in a new way.  It's the same concept as accessorizing an outfit you wear.
