More Love is the cornerstone movement of Songs for the Journey, which was commissioned to be performed alongside Gabriel Faure's Requiem and utilizes the same sonorous combination of horns, harp, organ, violas, cellos, and bass. Songs for the Journey outlines and explores similar themes as the traditional Latin Requiem - love, faith, mortality, surrender to an eternal will - but in a less ecclesiastical framework, with poems and texts drawn from a variety of sources, creating a work with a message that is positive and affirming.
