Karl Jenkins’ 2011 oratorio “The Peacemakers” sets the words of “messengers of peace” including Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama and Anne Frank to accessible, stirring music evoking many traditions, from monastic chant to the blues.
Jenkins, one of the world’s most performed living composers, has written that the ethos of the piece can be summed up in one line, from Rumi, the thirteenth-century Persian mystic poet: “All religions, all singing one song: Peace be with you.” “The Peacemakers” was first performed at Carnegie Hall, New York, on 16 January 2012.
The program also includes the serene Russian hymn “We Hymn Thee,” from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Liturgy of St.
John Chrysostom, Opus 31, and “Te Quiero” (“I adore you”) by Argentine popular composer Alberto Favero.
