Simple Blessing

This gentle and very traditional composition is ideal as a prelude to worship or as preliminary music for a wedding. In Intro-A-B-A-B1-Coda form, the engaging "A" first theme appears expressively on a solo flute stop, and returns later on a solo reed stop. The "B" section offers contrast and interest, and the coda brings the work to an elegant and quiet conclusion. � Premiered by Julia Callaway.
