Composed by Jessie Seymour Irvine, a Scottish minister's daughter, in her teens, this tune (officially known as "Crimond") is the most familiar setting of the 23rd Psalm. It is one of Spence's most elegant and formal-sounding arrangements, using his standard left-hand fingerings to create an interplay of melody with contrapuntal bass figures that is reminiscent of Renaissance European styles.
