Duration: circa 2 minutes
Note from the composer
Peace Beyond Thought asks the listener to dwell on ‘all that is pure’. For this reason the music develops from simple unison singing through to rich and warm harmonic textures, with restrained dynamics throughout. Towards the end of the work the most important word is ‘console’ and choirs should feel the phrases moving towards the final D major chord which is intended to bring resolution and comfort.

Peace Beyond Thought
(Words adapted by Andrew Hawes from Philippians 4)
All that is pure, And for beauty adored: On these things Dwell. Hold
In your heart
All goodness And truth, And that peace Beyond thought Shall console you.
