From Songs Of Peace-A setting of the Latin text from the Roman Missal Requiem is the opening movement of a larger work entitled Songs of Peace which was written in 2012 in memory of the composer’s mother. Todd’s gently chromatic but undaunting harmonic language combined with the powerful and personal text makes for a very effective piece suitable for general performance as well as at sombre or memorial occasions. As usual for Todd’s music chord symbols are included for embellishment of the piano part though a complete piano part is included.

Written in memory of the composer's mother, Will Todd's Songs of Peace is a six-movement work about love and loss. Two of the movements are scored for upper voices. Although it is not a conventional Requiem, it might be appropriate in a memorial context, butshould by no means be confined to it: in many ways it is a very 'life-affirming' work, characterised by ToddÂ’s recognisable jazz-infused harmonic language, memorable melodies, and powerful and personal texts. Songs of Peace is designed as a work which may be performed complete, as separate movements (two of which are scored for upper voices) or as a selection. It can be accompanied by piano alone (as written, embellished or extemporised - chord symbols are supplied where appropriate) or jazz trio (piano, bass and drums - parts available separately at www.boosey.com/SongsOfPeace).
