Peace Is Every Step

This meditative setting of Thich Naht Hahn's poem resonates with the same quiet, ecstatic joy of the original text. The vocal lines alternate between layered polyphonic entrances and swelling homophony, depicting our individual spiritual journeys as they cyclically converge and split again. Sitting in the space between sacred and secular, this piece can be programmed equally in a concert setting or religious service of almost any denomination.
