Repose is a choral-based piece heavily influenced by hymns from the UMC Hymnal. I grew up singing hymns each week in church with my mom and I have become very familiar with our hymnal. Some hymns are quoted in the piece between original sections such as Be Still My Soul, God of the Sparrow God of the Whale, Onward Christian Soldiers, and We are the Church. Each hymn brings me peace in a unique way that makes this piece extremely relaxing. Â
