Program Notes:
1 John 4:16 says, “We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” “Love Variations” seeks to portray this truth in music. A set of three variations on the hymn tune “God Is Love,” “Love Variations” draws you to the immortal words of this hymn:
Come, let us all unite to sing:
God is love!
Let Heaven and earth their praises bring,
God is love!
Let every soul from sin awake,
Each in his heart sweet music make,
And sing with us, for Jesus' sake:
God is love!
