With Peace in Mind
A cappella
Publisher Desc.
"With Peace in Mind" by Nancy Wertsch is an ambitious a cappella concert suite for advanced choirs, with each movement representing a different faith. The five poems set are drawn from texts from Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Native American religion, each dealing with the subject of peace. Each is in a distinctly different style according to the culture or part of the world it comes from.
The texture varies throughout, from sparse two-part contrapuntal writing, to SATB with divisi and double choir. The music, while based in tonality, has sections of dense textures and polytonal chords.
