Jewels and Treasures started as a folk song about friendship and has matured into this splendid tribute to enduring friendship. There are high spots and low spots, just like any friendship, but it rallies jubilantly in the end. The tension is created using juxtaposed rhythms (3 against 2), alternate rhythms for the melody and a venture into a minor key variation of the tune.
Instrumentation - Violin 1, 2, Viola, Cello, Contrabass
