Légende honors Milford Myhre, long time carillonneur of the Bok Tower Gardens, GCNA mentor, member and advisor. After a brief introduction in D minor, Légende's hymn-like tune emerges in the lower bells, accompanied by triplet arpeggiation figures and interspersed with occasional fanfare motives in parallel fourths or fifths. A contrasting theme is then introduced in treble bells, underpinned by syncopated pedalpoints, and leads into a phrase-by-phrase developmental treatment of the hymn tune, first in soprano and then in tenor and bass registers. The contrasting or second thematic materials return and eventually lead to a full restatement of the hymn – as heard in the beginning, but with the fanfare interpolations inclined toward the parallel key of D major. The second theme returns briefly and is followed by an affirmative coda in D major.
