This delightful example of "Americana" melds the tunes of "Shenandoah", "The Gift to Be Simple", and "Swing Low" in distinctive elegance. The tunes weave in and out accompanied by blocked or broken chords or repeating sixteenth double note patterns. The piece is a study in dynamic contrasts and tonal balances, but notes and rhythms are easy. There is one key change, from F to G, with minimal accidentals.
