- - - - Homorhythm
      - Subtle word painting
      - Both men and women singing
      - Is a beautiful song, is angelic sounding. The voices compliment one another incredibly well, sounding heavenly. The sound does contrast the meaning of the song, being about death and sexual innuendos but sounding so beautiful.

      - pastoral text
      - social music

        The opening is hectic, being very fast paced and constantly switching keys. The piano to start then becomes accompanied by singing, which continues to be hectic. Staying with a fast and and jumpy melody throughout. Soloist has lots of range in his voice, allowing the hecticness to continue throughout.

        Has a very lackluster tone, no real path to follow. The piano is quite all over the place and ends up having no real resolution. Is a wistful piece.
