Featuring instrumental arrangements of 12 traditional and popular hymns and worship songs, Maureen Briare’s latest instrumental endeavor continues in the same vein as the first volume, Peaceful Prayer: Sacred Melodies of Comfort and Hope. Perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful respite, this unique collection of Celtic harp music draws listeners into the abundant hope and comfort of God’s love and grace.
The recording consists of four themed meditation suites: Awakening Hope, Living Waters, Shores of Grace and Sacred Beauty. Each beautifully arranged suite is made up of three hymns or songs, including favorites like “There Is a Longing” by Anne Quigley, “Shelter Me, O God” by Bob Hurd and Owen Alstott’s “O Holy Mary.”
Designed to reflect natural rhythms and soothing tempos, Maureen’s beautiful harp arrangements lend themselves perfectly to peaceful and relaxing listening. Though the harp is featured, you’ll hear a variety of other instruments, like oboe, cello and violin, throughout the recordings. From “Pacem,” an original composition inspired by Maureen's experience playing at a hospice service, to the recognizable “For the Beauty of the Earth Medley,” the prayerful songs on this collection will surround you with a sense of calm and serenity.
