Sometimes I Feel Like My Time Ain't Long and Vicki Ray's piano spheres recital got a nice review in San Francisco Classical Voice. "The words devolve until they are simply harmonic tones and overtones. The word "Lord" becomes a sonic mantra, while the piano spins more and more complex threads around the central theme, until the piece fades into the realm of spiritual transformation." Well, the word is actually "long" but I'll still take it.
