Still composed Three Visions for solo piano in 1935 and is described as:

“Three segments of the suite, Dark Horsemen, Summerland and Radiant Pinnacle, tell the story of the human soul after death: the body expires, and the soul goes on to an apocalyptic judgement. If it is seen that the past life has been a good one, the soul may enter ‘heaven’ or ‘Summerland’. After a period of time, the soul may reincarnate to learn additional earthly lessons on the human plane. Some souls reincarnate many times in a constant circular progress toward Godly perfection.”

The dissonant opening and the fervent energy laced through the accompaniment theme is said to represent the galloping hooves of the horses. The urgency in the music paired with Still’s chromatic and dissonant harmonic language creates quite the spectacle that opens this short suite.
