The Want of Peace

TERRA NOSTRA is an oratorio focusing on the relationship between our planet and mankind, how this relationship has shifted over time, and how we can re-establish a harmonious balance. The climax of this 90-minute work's message, THE WANT OF PEACE draws on words by the contemporary agrarian/poet Wendell Berry, reminding us that we can find harmony with the planet if we choose to live more simply, and to recall that we ourselves came from the earth. Scored for SATB Chorus, this work may be heard at www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDb48hr73rE&list=OLAK5uy_k9cNYOur0Nth-YOjxweSKtUBB-A3F5HEA&index=15
