The Beauty Within

The Beauty Within is an introspective work for unaccompanied cello that unfolds like a prayer. Inspired by 1 Peter 3:3-4, it explores the instrument’s full expressive range, from resonant low tones to lyrical upper lines. Gentle pacing and flowing triplets create a meditative atmosphere, while a brief pizzicato passage offers contrast. Ultimately, the piece invites both performer and listener to pause, reflect, and rediscover the quiet beauty within themselves.
