1. "Prayer" Op. 31-1
It is a gentle, chorale-like piece in C major. Reflecting Merikanto's career as an active organist, it is composed of three- or four-voice chords. It is a piece in A-B-A ternary form.
Beginning with a warm tonic chord in C major and progressing with orthodox harmony, it modulates to A minor from measure 13.
From measure 17, it becomes the B section and modulates to G major. The organ-like chorale unfolds as if offering a prayer.
From measure 25, the recapitulation begins. A gentle melody continues, leading to a peaceful cadence.
