Wonder and Joy - Hymn tunes "Wondrous Love and Ode to Joy" are combined with quiet intensity in this arrangement se entirely in C minor/Eb major. A simple syncopation of quarter-half-quarter in 4/4 time underpins much of the first section adding pulse to the quarter=88 tempo mark. The music broadens with the entrance of Beethoven's tune with full chords in the upper registers.
