I didn’t expect to come in 9th in FamiCompo Mini 6, but that’s what this track did, in the Originals section, created in spare time through December.  My goal was simply to finish in the upper third.

I look forward to FamiCompo Mini because it carries a large and global scale.  It’s an honor to have placed well in it.

According to Wikipedia, this song has origins in American hymnals from the late 1800’s.  Though those hymnals tried to attribute the song to Martin Luther, it appears to be a lyric composed by an American and set to a Scottish melody.  I know of at least three melodies for this song, so in my piece I have attempted to include them all.  Notice how they all have waltz time, and all sound like they could easily be played as bagpipe marches; perhaps one could argue that this is a medley of unknown Scottish folk songs.
