Take The World But Give Me Jesus

A violin solo with piano accompaniment begins with a reflective motif. The violin makes an initial statement of the theme incorporating many double stops for harmonic and colorful shadings, all the while the accompaniment supports with choral movement. The piece comes to a repose where it allows the soloist to execute a cadenza section displaying multiple stops and melodic alterations. A modulation takes place where the piece becomes increasingly expressive. The piece becomes more plaintive and then with a mute added the piece comes to complete rest.
