In early Church architecture, the Narthex was a type of porch just inside the western entrance.  At one time, it was the place for penitents.

The composition opens with a simple piano arrangement which is then repeated with a cello. It is tentative in its opening, not sure whether to continue. Only the cello encourages it onwards.

At the foot of a Narthex, just outside a Church, a person may not know whether to enter or not. Perhaps they’ve never been inside a Church before or maybe the complexities of the past prevent the present encounter taking place.
