Fragile and precious, this sacred tone poem is a prayer for peace and a plea for healing of the heart. The soundscape of the anthem rises from a single tone, opening to reveal glimmering splashes of choral color. As the words become more impassioned, the octavo surrenders to a flowing piano episode that matches its intensity. This petition for calm begins to quiet as the anthem winds down, allowing the prayer to end in hushed chords of assurance. Score and Parts (vn, vc) available as a digital download.

With a pristine quote from the classic hymn tune BREAD OF LIFE, this piece raises the curtain on a winsome invitation to the Lord's Supper. Mercy and forgiveness draw the seeker in lovely melodic strains that rise and fall like a prayer as the anthem unfolds. A lush and satisfying chorus showcases the timbre of the choir while passionately calling the faithful to “Bring every burden, bring every need... to the table of peace.” Highly recommended!

In his new CD, Prayers of Hope and Healing, Liam Lawton combines selections from his popular book The Hope Prayer (G-7823, $21.95) with his original melodies, newly orchestrated by Mark Cahill. The prayers and reflections included on this recording deal with many of life's recurrent themes—joy, sorrow, growing old, birth, death, and loss, to name but a few. Each of these prayers is an invitation to enter into the beauty of God's presence, encouraging the listener to persist in prayer beyond the final notes of each supplication into their own distinctive dialogue with God. This CD makes a great gift for anyone in need of healing prayer. It is perfect for reflection in the different “sanctuaries” of our lives-places like the car, the office, or even amidst nature during a quiet walk or respite under a tree, a blanket of stars, or the sun-drenched sky. Reflect on one prayer everyday. Use them in prayer services, private devotions, public prayer, or small Christian communities. Author and composer Lawton reads each reflection himself, his gentle delivery and rich vocal timbre breathe compassion and life into these expressive words of inspiration and hope—lighting a pathway to peace and shepherding the soul toward rest.

For SATB and piano, this original setting of Maya Angelou's poem, Prayer is in a soulful 6/8. (The accompaniment occasionally quotes Lift Every Voice and Sing, which gives you an idea of the tempo and feeling.) Beginning with a series of thanks, the piece has a slower middle section with a series of petitions, beginning, For those who have no voice, we ask you to speak. Then the music of the first section reappears and the piece closes with a prayer for peace. This is an unusual and powerful musical offering for any occasion focusing on justice and social concerns.

Music of Unity and Peace is the result of an unprecedented collaboration between the Community and the international staff of Deutsche Grammophon / Universal Music. The latter offered their experience and expertise to produce this album. The Taizé Community welcomed this project with a view to making its songs known to a wider audience. Those who have already taken part in the international meetings in Taizé will meet once again the atmosphere that touched them. Many others will discover a reflection of that contemplative prayer. After the bells, familiar with visitors to Taizé, we are led into songs interpreted by a choir of young adults and musicians from different countries, some recordings made during the community prayers in July 2014, and also some psalms and responses sung just by the brothers. You will therefore hear on some tracks the choral singing of more than two and a half thousand people, whereas other pieces give a taste of the intimacy which envelops prayer in Taizé. The song “Let All Who Are Thirsty Come” is included for the first time in a recording.

Psalms 130, 120.
The texts for Prayer for Peace are excerpted from Psalms 130 and 120 and from the Agnus Dei of the Mass Ordinary. The word peace appears randomly throughout the work in a variety of languages in an attempt to illustrate its cultural universality. Performers and conductors can decide on their own how to render these passages. If available, the song bowls in D and A will add rich sonorities, but the piece can be performed effectively without them.
