Bill Douglas Featuring The Ars Nova Singers ‎– Earth Prayer. Label: Hearts Of Space ‎– 11092-2.

Composer Bill Douglas once again showcases the Ars Nova Singers and revisits his love of poetry, setting to original music the verse of master wordsmiths on four selections of Earth Prayer. Effectively using offerings from each poet, Douglas is able to maintain the prayerful tone of the collection, beginning with the title track on which the Singers intone "dona nobis pacem" (grant us peace). The emotional posture is set remarkably well with this piece-restrained and sparse rather than decorous, including a lovely string interlude and soft piano.
