This is a level three solo with piano accompaniment that exudes majesty, tenderness and elegance all at the same time. While it abounds with melodic embellishment the song itself is never lost in the mix. It is simply delightful from beginning to end. It will make a service, concert or contest enhanced because of its presentation.
