Find Peace by Kenneth Langer — Lyrics
Do you seek peace and quiet? Peace is quietness. They are one and the same thing. Do you seek joy in living? Joy is living in the stillness of those things that fill us with awe. Seek peace. Seek stillness and there you shall find all that there is to be.
About Find Peace
Find Peace offers a gentle invitation for a choir to explore the profound connection between stillness and joy. Written in English for SATB voices, this secular canon provides a reflective moment, perhaps during a reflective part of a concert programme or a quiet interlude in a service. The composer Kenneth Langer crafts a simple yet meaningful text that equates peace with quietness and joy with living in awe. The contrapuntal nature of a canon encourages singers to listen intently to one another, mirroring the text's message of unity and inner calm. It's a contemplative setting that invites both the performers and the listeners to embrace quietude and find contentment within it.
