Three Sententiae for Baritone Solo, Op. 389, "A Prayer for Peace" (Based on Three Biblical Verses)

With the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza having only recently "deescalated" under a so-called ceasfire, a new genocidal war launched by the US and Israel against Iran, and the Israeli genocidal war against Lebanon relaunched in full-intensity, as well as the Russian-Ukaraine war going on since 4 years, I think now is as appropriate a time as ever to share this piece I composed last year and myself performed and recorded recently: Three Sententiae for Baritone Solo, Op. 389, "A Prayer for Peace" (Based on Three Biblical Verses). I hope and pray that peace, however elusive it seems in the present, will soon become a reality all over the world.

Hello @luderart!

Thank you for sharing such a piece at a time when the earth is being ravaged by wars with frightening frequency!

Two weeks ago - on the tragic fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion to Ukraine -, I posted my fugue („Dona nobis pacem“) which is dedicated to the victims of that particular war, and now we are faced with another war in Iran and elsewhere in the middle east!

Even if your piece – or your three pieces or sentences – are rather short, they are good reminders not to despair, but to hope and pray for peace and for overcoming the evil.
