Kindness
The scripture passage in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, with its themes of love, kindness, patience, endurance, and hope, is illustrated with gentle, flowing lines and lofty melodies in the various sections of this gorgeous original composition. But kindness can also take courage, sacrifice, compassion, and commitment, which is communicated through a minor key and increasingly active sixteenth note patterns. Sweeping melodies and countermelodies and the full range of dynamics make this piece an emotional addition to the concert or worship repertoire.
