The third movement of the suite, entitled "Oil Well," is based
on a mural by Xavier Gonzalez entitled "Drilling for Oil", located
in Kilgore in the U.S. Post Office. It bears the following inscription
from the Old Testament: "And He made him to suck honey out of the
rock, and oil out of the flinty rock." Deut. 32:13.
"Oil Well"
describes the process of drilling for oil.
