O God, Our Help….Passacaglia /Fugue
Written in typical passacaglia (theme in the bass line) and Fugue fashion, the theme is presented in the piano. The first variation is a gently modified tune in duple with the accompaniment in triplets. In variation two, the tune is rhythmically altered while the upper accompaniment is presented in a spritely fashion. Variation three, the tune is in a triplet moving nature while the theme is in block harmonization in the accompaniment. Variation four is expressive in an almost cadenza fashion. Finally, the Fugue is in a lively four voice manner, ending with a strong proclamation of the title, itself.

It Is Well With My Soul
Traditional setting, slightly contemporary- begins with piano in a motif of the theme. The first section is a stylized rendition of the theme. Then, it continues in the chorus much the same. A transition becomes freer in rhythm and harmony. It then repeats back to the opening sections and then moves to the coda where the piece ends in a solemn fashion.
