This medley of Easter hymns includes ST. KEVIN, VICTORY, and LANCASHIRE. A recurring motif of ascending peals links the tunes and creates a fluid, energetic setting. The first tune, St. Kevin, is set against a backdrop of moving eighth notes. Optional handchimes give contrast to the middle tune, Victory, which is set in the stately quarter notes of the hymn. Then the scale passages return and accompany the tune Lancashire to its exciting finish.
