Summary: <p>This brief piece, composed by <a href="http://www.lisztonian.com/composers/Frederic+Chopin-4.html" title="Music by Frederic Chopin">Frederic Chopin</a>, has a majestic beauty. The melody is reminiscent of one of his many Nocturnes, while the accompanying harmonies are almost hymnal - even concluding with a fifth-to-dominant cadence that is such a common ending in church service music (although this piece is more subtle than a typical hymn). <br> <br>This recording was another from the collection, <a href="http://www.alfred.com/alfredweb/front/ProductDetail.aspx?itemnum=%20%20%20%20%20%20%20453&pubnum=0" title="Classical Music for the Church Service"><em>Classical Music for the Church Service: Volume 2</em></a> (published by Alfred - my favorite sheet music publisher). The recording was performed at my home on my studio upright.
