The traditions of this tune and its words run long and deep. The beginning is a simple statement of the tune and is so ever carefully embellished as the piece progresses. It sets the mood for careful reflection as well.

This solo opens with a gentle, Celtic fashion in a duple meter. It progresses through a series expressive obbligati giving a sense of elevation. As it nears the end it modulates metrically and harmonically to a triple meter, and then final repose.

Solo for Bb or C Inst.
