This piece is based on the hymn tune "How Can I Keep from Singing." This tune has a special place in my heart, as it serves as the tune for the camp where I have spent many of my summers growing up. Over the course of the piece, the tune itself gradually shifts into focus, before dissolving back into the air it came out of, but always with a hint of the original melody remaining.
