Review:
An immediate mood is set as this somber spiritual begins with wind chime and random ringing. The saxophone enters on the melody plaintively and ad libbing. A stricter tempo ensues with flowing, alternating accompaniment against melody. A thoughtful bridge is played by the bells and then they present a fuller rendition of the tune with doubled octaves and chromatic movement. The wind chime reappears for the ending and fades along with the bells into a pianissimo ending.
