I hope the first example of adding runs to hymns was helpful for some of you.

The second example of adding runs to hymns is fairly simple. I chose a hymn in G Major and 4/4 time.  The run is nothing more than a one note ascending scale used as a fill-in.  This particular run makes a nice transition from the verse to chorus.

These articles discussing runs will be broken down into even smaller segments due to my limited time this semester. I will share more explanation on this example along with an audio in the next article.

At least you can view the example and print it in advance of hearing the audio and seeing more details soon.
