Barbara Bridge offers Deep Peace, 14 lovely pieces composed for SATB choir and assembly, with keyboard and guitar accompaniments. Many songs include Taizé-inspired chant, creating meditative atmospheres that promote personal prayer and reflection, and lyrical repetition that allows for introspection. It is a collection that draws us closer to our God through its comfort, warmth and inviting melodies.
These pieces span a 20-year journey, during which time Barbara worked at OCP as part of the Music Development Team. It is her experience as a choir director, cantor and presenter, and dedication to faith formation that allow her to create such unique, powerful music for liturgy, prayer and devotion.
Contemplative Pieces
- “Deep Peace” is an uplifting text that transcends religious identity. Newly arranged for piano and SATB choir, this piece features an intentionally simple melody suitable for most choirs.
- With a chant-like melody, “As a Mother Cares” uses the analogy of a mother’s love for her child to demonstrate the immense mercy of God.
- And “Veni, Creator Spiritus” is built around an ostinato, invoking the Holy Spirit to come among us. The lyrical simplicity of this piece adds to its intensity and power, making it a great addition to any choir’s repertoire.
