Springs Of Living Water
Bubbly is an appropriate description of this violin duet from beginning to end. It begins with non-thematic material and then breaks into the song as a simply duet style followed by the second part carrying the theme while the first part adds a delightful obbligato. The middle section is a contrast in tempo and style with an expressive line in the first violin with a gentle underpinning of the piano. After a tempo increase the violins repeat the duet style line of earlier section and then embellishes the lines with more active rhythms. With a final acceleration, the piece comes to a solid close.

Trust Him Only
Scored for two unaccompanied strings it begins with a motif in imitation… The first thematic statement is made with a delicately altered theme in the upper line while the lower line moves in a gentle counterpoint.. The second section is in a new key at a higher level with the melody alters even more while the second voice is more expressive and stretched out. The next section changes key once again and mirrors the movement of the first section. Again, a modulation takes place and the parts are more bold and duet like in their presentation. A final modulation takes the piece upward and the style is more bold where it comes to a brief Coda- where it relaxes into a quite confidence.
