      • Majority of melody based around 'D' at opening and middle section
    • Structure
      • Starts and ends diatonically with chromatic middle section
      • Hymn-like ending

    • Word painting
      • 'Rich' - f, middle range, strong quaver accomp. & acciaccatura upbeats to create power
      • 'frozen stare' - chromatically descending quavers with dim. to p
      • 'thought I' - crotchet silence before, dischord, sung slower
