Publisher Desc.  This piano solo requires a grand piano to achieve its full effect. A dramatic interpretation of "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" (HAMBURG Tune) flows into a tranquil setting of the tune NEAR THE CROSS (the melody of "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross"), interpreting the stanza that describes "rest beyond the river." Suitable for recital or worship in Lent, especially the week before Easter. Duration: 3 mins, 30 secs. Difficulty: moderate, including ability to play octaves and rapid arpeggios. A similar interpretation of HAMBURG Tune is found in James Siddons' Sonata Hymnica No. 5, "Scenes of Calvary."
