31.51Meter transformation through accompaniment only

Important:

You don't necessarily have to rewrite the melody.

Keep melody nearly literal.

Put:

a 3-against-4 accompaniment underneath.

Now the tune feels transformed rhythmically while melody remains recognizable.

This is a great advanced arranging strategy.
