A Mighty Fortress Is Our God - Transformed

I've posted another of my Transformed Hymns on my weblog today. It's based on a Martin Luther tune, harmonized by Bach. There's a description here: http://tinyurl.com/ylmnqjj

The basic idea of this transformation is to stay on each chord for a while before moving to the next one. It's very simple, but these harmonies are so sweet that I just couldn't stand to rush through.

I'm casting about for the next one to try. I been listening to Ben Johnston's Amazing Grace (String Quartet Number Four) by the Kronos Quartet. Truly amazing. His approach was thematic, and mine is very mechanical. I've thought about using some more challenging tunings, but I can't get them to sound right.
