Written for choirs in Hay River, Canada, this piece features a percussive bass rhythm that builds in intensity as the piece develops. The melody is Level 1, and the repeating rhythms in the bass are quickly

In 6/8, "joy" is expressed in a Celtic-like melody which then gives way to "remembrance" in a slower but no less joyful middle section in 3/4. The opening material returns with some 16th-note flourishes.
