This solo is technically demanding while depicting the content of its title. While it is a provocative title with soul-searching implications, the results of its message produces a great deal of joy- salvation! The themes and embellishments presented here certainly enhances the joyous conclusion of such a concept and then moves to a rather solemn reflection of the wonder of it all.

This piece would serve well as a meditation. Beginning with a quiet Celtic lilt, the center section is stronger and bolder. After several bell effects, the piece returns to the mood of the beginning.

This solo with piano begins with a modified melodic statement. It enters into a second section with simple obligati and then returns to a beginning-like statement and ends with a simple coda.

This solo with piano is constructed in a rondo form alternating the tunes of Jesus Loves Me, Praise Him All Ye Little Children and Jesus Loves The Little Children. Each section of piece is in a different style thereby giving a great deal of variety technically and musically for the younger player.
