"Light of the World"
The lines "So many ways / So many words" at the end of "Light of the World" are each sung to notes of all different pitches (G F E C both times), and this articulation provides a sense of breadth (for "so many").

"Limelight"
I listened to Stereotomy yester-day and noticed a couple small features.
Under the lines "I ain't gonna change my mind" and "Nothing can change my mind" in "Limelight," the bass plays three notes of the same pitch (Bb). Because the pitch is maintained, there's a sense of this constancy (not changing).
When I found the specific pitch, however, I also noticed that "mind" is sung with a melisma (C Bb), so while the sentiments are negated, there is a sense of "chang[ing]."
