"Whence Comes Peace" is a level 3 piece for SSA choir &
piano. It is an excellent work for advanced middle school, high school,
college, and community choirs. It is one of three pieces from a collection
using texts by Canadian poet, Bliss William Carman (1861 - 1929). This work
is based on his poem entitled "Peace" (1922). There have been edits
in the last lines, so the work could end with "who give their lives to
love". Carman uses beautiful imagery of the sun setting over a forest
valley, and the quiet and stillness "as sandalled dusk goes by" to
frame the question "Whence comes peace?" The answer, given by
"one beyond a name", is that "peace only comes to them who
guard their lives from shame, holding truth for guide, and who give their
hearts to love". It is a wonderful text that can be interpreted in many
so ways. Whether as one approaches the evening of their life, wondering when
life's peace will come, or one reflecting on the day just spent and what
brings peace in each day. The text could be viewed in any one of various
contexts for life, and is deeply needed to be heard today. Also available in
SATB & Piano voicing.
