The minor i chord sets up the D major, which is bVI of F#, or normal VI of f# minor. <BR/><BR/>The piano part also coos in the right hand with paired notes in the bass (isn't that cute?)<BR/><BR/>In a tonal sense m. 27 starts the third section, but your interpretation makes sense since the text is still from the second stanza, thus that phrase has music from the third section and poetry from the second section, very much a transition.<BR/><BR/>The postlude also has a religious overtone with the plagal cadence at the end.<BR/><BR/>Very good.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286095156825716887noreply@blogger.com
