Michael Joncas’s collection, Deep and Lasting Peace, is as rich as it is varied. Here you’ll find festive settings of great hymns scored for congregations, choir, brass, and organ incorporating Joncas’s original texts. Simple settings of the three gospel canticles found in Luke utilize a “psalm tune” while another setting of the Magnificat is ideal for festive occasions. Responding to frequent requests, Joncas has revised the Gloria from his Psallite Mass casting it in a “festive” setting using a refrain format augmented by brass as well as in a “ferial” setting for everyday Sunday use with two woodwinds and guitar. Not to be missed is the title track “Deep and Lasting Peace,” which is sure to enter mainstream congregational Communion repertoire.

Tom Trenney brings a deeply imaginative text from John Philip Newell to life in this dynamic anthem for SATB choir. The text is a prayer from Praying with the Earth: A Prayerbook for Peace and asks that the wonders of creation fill our lives and move us to live with gratitude, humbleness, and peace. Trenneyâ??s musical text painting includes mode and rhythmic shifts, vocal echoing, and soaring lyrical writing.

There is perhaps no greater universal longing than that of peace. It is that deep desire in all of us which calls for more harmony and less dissonance. This brand-new gorgeous choral arrangement, for mixed chorus (SATB), captures the feeling of Peace that Jesus Christ offers all of us - Far from the feelings of despair, the weight of hopeless grief, the future that's unclear, there is peace.

The Peace meditation is an entirely tonal piece in A minor, avoiding any modernistic or superficial effects. It nevertheless makes a great impression. The work is entirely textless. The male voices hold a pedal note A throughout the piece, above which a solo soprano melody unfolds an archaic-sounding motif in peaceful quarter and eighth note movement. The frequent repetitions are always spun anew. This melody also appears transposed up a third, intensified, and then - with the only accidental in the piece - the B flat is placed dissonantly against the pedal note. Sykulski wrote the piece in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks and performed it for the first time with the Poznań Adam Mickiewicz University Academic Chor, also at Ground Zero before a deeply moved American audience, the work expressing the sorrow of so many people rendered silent and dumbfounded.
