2-Part, 3-Part or 4-Part Chorus a cappella

An invocation asking for peace within one's own heart

Commissioned by American Composers Forum's Faith Partners Program

Poet/Lyricist: Søren Kierkegaard

Danish philosopher and theologian Søren Kirkegaard suffered from melancholy – now known as depression – for most of his life. So it is not surprising that many his writings focused on what he called "inwardness," a realm completely separate from one's outward demeanor or actions. His unceasing search for authenticity in his faith and stillness in his heart is reflected in this chorale's elegant simplicity.

This flexibly voiced edition contains three completely different arrangements of this song! Composed to be easily adapted to the vocal forces as hand, this publication includes 2, 3, and 4-part voicings of varying difficulties, suitable for treble, bass or mixed choir, or for congregational singing. It may be repeated as desired in worship settings or processionals.
