The Crystal Fountain—Brian Balmages.
Based on the hymn Guide Me, O Thou
Great Redeemer, this heartfelt work begins
delicately, relying on fragments of the hymn.

ultimately reaching a powerful climax where

tune are presented simultaneously. As the
music fades, the listener is left with a sense
of peace and closure. Simply magical.
