Each of the 3 pieces is based on a folk-like hymn. The simplicity and beauty of each tune is conscientiously preserved in an artful and well-crafted setting. The graceful style of these pieces is influenced by the gentle impressionism of Debussey and the modality of the folk hymns themselves. Melody always given to clarinet in some fashion, from straight-forward to highly-embellished. Much needed literature. Idiomatic writing. Warm and pleasant. Clarinet (ME-M); Piano (ME)

Includes:
"Be Thou My Vision" (SLANE)
"I Will Arise and Go to Jesus" (RESTORATION)
"What Wondrous Love Is This" (WONDROUS LOVE)

Instruments: Piano, Clarinet
