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.
