Interpretation notes:

• The melody has smooth, stepwise motion with occasional leaps of 3rds in the first 2 lines. 

• The harmony in these lines is I-V7-I. 

• The next 4 lines begin with high Eb repeated several times. 

• Depth is shown through the bass dropping to a low Ab. 

• The Refrain is the climax, with Eb repeated more, with tenor and bass notes progressing forward.

• The rhythm uses mostly dotted notes.
