Compare to "Sing of the Lord's Goodness." I know that there are only 12 tones in the Western scale, etc., but I find the resemblance unneverving. Especially because this was really a favorite of my modern dance teacher in the late 60's. Still like Dave's non-liturgical original.
I’ve heard a tale that Brubeck, a Catholic, approved of the borrowing in “Sing of the Lord’s Goodness”. If that’s true, that only leaves about five reasons not to sing it.
