The piece has achieved individual notability and is often performed and recorded without the other movements. Adams states that the title of the movement was ""stolen out of old Methodist gospel or hymn tune book"" and is an arrangement of ""Onward, Christian Soldiers"", a popular hymn tune (written as ""St. Gertrude"") by Arthur Sullivan. Musically, Adams seeks to ""displace the voice leading"" and sound like Mahler. One reviewer says that the movement, ""with an almost Wagnerian overtone to"
