In Stillness by Kenley Kristofferson reaches for that which is greater than ourselves. It may be one god or many gods, or it may be greatness of the past or future, but it is the light that is just beyond our mortal reach. This piece starts slowly and grows in intensity over time until the glorious climax, after which it relaxes in tone and volume before reaching a short final section of quiet tension. This ends with warm tonic chord, signifying the light that greets all of us at the end.
