A sheet of music is propped up on an electronic keyboard, illuminated by soft light filtering through vertical blinds. Shadows and light play across the keys and create a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

For the Director of Music

9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded....

Psalm 18
