Happy Birthday, Isaac Watts

Posted on July 17, 2024 by miriamtroxler

As part of the 12-song challenge, I wrote a new tune using Isaac Watts lyrics. Isaac Watts wrote more than 1000 psalms and hymn settings so it was a challenge to choose just one.

You can listen to the tune and sing along with this video.

If you’d like to play it, download the lead sheet and let me know how it goes.
