This solo begins with a easy lilt underpinned by a gentle accompaniment. Moving into the second section of the piece the tune is embellished in a variation format of chromatic triplets. It repeats back to the first section and proceeds to a Coda section- again, in a triplet format.

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.
