The Soul Considers Its Nearness to God, the second piece in "Three Songs of the Soul", sets an English translation of a poem by metaphysical Dutch poet Jan Luyken (1649–1712). Through text painting, this sacred choral work strives to reflect the meaning and beauty of the poet’s spiritual ideals: here, the realization and confidence of God's presence as a unified, essential part of his very being. Within the lightly extended tonal and modal harmonies and the expanding and contracting progressions and modulations, each voice part has its own lyrical life.
