A Hymn for Peace is set to the text “O God of Love O King of Peace” by English poet, Henry Williams Baker. In this setting, the composer paints Baker's timeless text using rich harmonies and a prayerful melody, which is distributed among the different voice parts. A soaring soprano descant is added towards the climax driving it toward a satisfying resolution. This versatile work is perfect for concerts, schools, and church choirs during any liturgical season.
