On the back of yesterday's post about poor arrangements in Hymns Old & New, I've just looked at Sunday's hymns and find that they include "Purify my Heart" (Refiner's Fire).
The arrangement is pretty dire and the harmony sickening with far too many secondary dominants which I do not hear when I listen to the hymn on YouTube.
In fact, it is a lot easier just to follow the guitar chords - although those make no sense in places. How can F#m represent BMaj9 (or even F#9/B)? Also when the music says B, why does the guitar say Bm?
