It’s really important when playing the theremin “a cappella” (without accompaniment) to have some sort of pitch reference tone to keep you on key. Unless you have perfect pitch, which few possess, you are going to drift either flat or sharp. This old hymn begins in F major but in less than 30 seconds it has drifted sharp by a semitone and ends up in F# major. DO NOT DESPAIR! This is normal for thereminists and singers because with no reference, we don’t know where the hell we are! 😃
