Referring to the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn, this suite of three appealing settings reflects on the origins and character of the state. The suite opens with the light-hearted 6/8 setting Punxsutawny Phil. Next is Moravian Hymn Variants which is solemn and rich-sounding, but with a brief spirited middle variation. Independence Hall concludes this well-written work in a stately and majestic style.
