“Given Hope Everlasting” is a slow piece that draws inspiration off of the hope one has even in the direst of circumstances. One will continually try to succeed no matter how doubtful the situation is. Minor melodies and chords found sporadically throughout the piece reflect the doubt one has even with everlasting hope, but these quickly become major again as one is refocused towards their goal and the doubts dissolve. Careful attention should be taken throughout the piece that the group does not breathe at the same time (except when indicated). Rather, groups should focus on learning to stagger breathe throughout the piece.
