Two hymn tunes “Sagina” and “Beecher” provide the basis on which this arrangement draws its inspiration. Two hymn tunes “Sagina” and “Beecher” provide the basis on which this arrangement draws its inspiration. A strong beginning section gives way to a slower, gentle section with bass melody in octaves and shimmering, upper-treble accompaniment. Shakes are a characteristic of the third section and a freer feeling of the fourth. A strong, but open-fabric completes the work with a triple forte dynamic marking. This medley of 145 measures is scored in F Major.
