The hymn I used as a basis for this arragement is quoted almost verbatim in the middle. It's a natural for me as the hymn name is "Autumn." (Name of the music, not the words.) I heard someone use it in an arrangement about the Titanic, because he thought that when a survivor was quoted by a newspaper as saying the ship's band had played the hymn melody "Aughten" (where we get the story about "Nearer My God to Thee") the paper might have misquoted him saying "Autumn."
Anyway, I liked the hymn and produced this arrangement. The odd note at the end was included so the piece would repeat less awkwardly.
