Program Notes

Drawing on two early American hymn tunes, here is a beautifully paced lyric piece with moments of calm reflection as well as emotional high points. The opening uses the lesser known Vermont composed by William Billings, and this is followed by a poignant adaptation of the familiar hymn Nearer, My God, To Thee.
