Description:
The text of Forever Toward You is a translation of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 1926) from The Book of Monastic Life. Rilke's poem speaks of a desire to encounter the Creator-the You in the title of this composition-and of the necessity for doing so through action, not thought alone. The tempo of the music alternates between those ideas of activity and reflection, giving this three minute piece quite a bit of variety and interest. Duration: 3:00
