Description and Table of Contents

Description

for unison or two-part voices and piano Adapted from music from The Pilgrim's Progress, this setting of words from Revelation 2 is profound and mystical. Flowing melodies, atmospheric harmonic shifts, and hushed dynamics all give the piece an ethereal quality that powerfully evokes the religious transcendence described in the text.
