Hymne a L'amour - simply beautiful song sung and made famous by the great French vocalist Edith Piaf. The lyrics were written by Piaf and the music by Marguerite Monnot. It was written for the love of her life, the French boxer, Marcel Cerdan. On October 28, 1949, Cerdan was killed in a plane crash on his way from Paris to New York to come to see her. She recorded the song on May 2, 1950.

I'm using some reharm here and there as well as a modulation for the last A section of the song.

Probably should have called this "Getting Bluesy", but I think of it as "Getting Church". African American Church musicians are some of the funkiest, bluesiest best players I have ever seen. It's incredible what some people get out of church. I would never have gotten that kind of musicality out of my church. The music was lame as I remember.

I'm not even religious, but I have gone by some churches and wanted to go in and listen and watch really bad!

So.... Get Church.
