The Space Within
What begins within illuminates beyond.
for SATB div. choir and piano
The Space Within is a luminous and introspective mixed SATB choral work that sets a text by Elizabeth Mills, inviting singers to explore how inner stillness becomes a source of light in a shadowed world. Through spacious textures and reflective pacing, the piece suggests that illumination does not arrive from outside, but is cultivated within—each voice discovering its own capacity to brighten darkness and offer presence, compassion, and clarity to others. The Space Within is ideal for choirs seeking repertoire that links personal reflection to collective purpose, reminding singers that their individual light matters—and that together, it shapes the world we inhabit.
Text
What may appear to be empty
Is more than enough
For a lifetime
What may appear to be nothing
Is all we shall ever need
The space within is like a desert
Waiting for water
The space within is like a mountain
Waiting to be climbed
The space within is precious
And waits only to be discovered
And then explored
For the duration of journey
We call life
– Elizabeth Mills
