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.

Open My Eyes
Combined with music from Brahms Second Symphony in the opening. The second section is more straight-forward of the tune itself where it moves to the thematic material of Brahms once again. The coda section is tranquil where it comes to a final rest.

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.

Jesus Paid It All
A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. The introduction establishes a dirge-like atmosphere joined in by the solo line carrying on the mood. The second section puts the melody in the piano part while solo soars above with a flowing obbligato and then shifts to the melody and concludes with a brief cadenza. The piece concludes with a melodic fragment in the piano and a smooth overflowing obbligato in the solo line

The Old Rugged Cross
This moderately easy oboe solo begins with a soulful harmonic progression in the accompaniment (alla Moonlight Sonata) that introduces the melody in a 3-4 meter. The theme is presented in its entirety. After a brief modulation the accompaniment takes over in a rich melodic/harmonic interplay of the tune and supporting lines, only to be joined with a simple counter line in the solo. The piece gains strength with the rhythmic interplay between the soloists and the accompaniment and then calms to a style presented in the opening measures. Final rest.
