This piece is very much a reminder that there may be struggles and conflicts in the world but for people of faith, any faith, the stillness of God cuts through and prevails. It was composed for the voluntary choir at Hereford Cathedral in the UK. Essentially it is structured in three sections: the first (in 9/8) in A major "God is our refuge, God is our strength" then transitions into the dramatic middle section, slowly accelerating in tempo - "He maketh wars to cease" - and modulating through Bb, Db, Dm and then a final crescendo to fortissimo on the words "He burneth the chariot with fire!" The third and final section begins after a tacet and the mood turns into one of stillness and reflection on the words "be still". The final "be still" is repeated through a modulating homophonic chord progression that concludes extremely quietly with a D9 chord.
