An accompanied clarinet duet which begins with a melodic motif and then presents the hymn tune in untision my the two parts. The chorus then breaks into a duet harmonization in a straight forward manner. The next section presents the first part in a melodically altered rendition with the second part answering in an obbligato like fashion. The middle section is a Q&A forma with the piano dropping out, followed by a piano solo section. A modulation now gives rise to the second part acting as a solo, followed by another moduation where the first takes over as a soloist. Then another modulation and then the two parts present the chorus in a straight duet section. Where it remains until the end- as a strong final ending.

This clarinet duet would be useful as a special presentation in a service. The nature of the work portrays great joy, variety, and dimension. The conclusive sections are deliberate and strong.
