Pippin's song was a cover version! We have similar things being done today, and sometimes a new version of the same song will sound completely different and fresh. The same song could be a march or a lullaby, depending on how it's sung, and a soloist who likes to improvise will embellish the notes - that's a good tradition in both classical music, especially of the Baroque age, and in jazz. The song was well done and appropriate for the occasion, so I have no problem with Pippin's changed version.
