A Vision of Rest is a choral piece with text set from the poem by
Alexander Posey. The piece balances a choral style refrain with large amounts
of independent lines and melismatic writing, and the sounds or the
composition are inspired by choral pieces by composers such as Pavel
Chesnikov, John Tavener, and Arvo PArt. The lyrics heard in the song were
slightly modified to fit to the music. The original text is as follows:
Some day this quest
Shall cease;
Some day, For aye,
This heart shall rest In
peace.
Sometimes, ofttimes,I almost
feel
The calm upon my senses steal,
So soft, and all but hear
The dead leaves rustle near
And sign to be
At rest with me.
Though I behold
The ashen branches tossing to and
fro,
Somehow I only vaguely know
The wind is rude and cold.
