Review:
This short hymn, perfect for weddings, is arranged in similar fashion to a theme and variation treatment. The first statement is a simple duet over a singing bell drone but things get much more complicated as the work progresses. The music is thickly textured, with repeating chords over inner voice triplets propelling to the end. The arranger's counter-melody adds an interesting contrast to the simple hymn tune. 105 measures. Keys of C Major and G major.
