I was exposed to some beautiful melodies from the weekly Masses, including one I particularly remembered, but which was under copyright.

The variations which followed were to begin as historically simple, but move toward a more contemporary sound. I have always loved the percussive sound of Vaclav Nelhybell's music and that is what I intended for the ending.
