Do You Like This German Hymn Tune?

·

AS PART OF the Brébeuf hymnal project, I’ve been looking at numerous melodies and texts. What do you think of this old German hymn tune? Hymns in 3/4 can present problems, but this hymn is not fully in 3/4. Do you agree this tune is pleasant?

SATB begins at the 0:41 marker:

* *  PDF Score • Dich König loben wir

* *  Mp3 Audio • Dich König loben wir
