A contemplative prayer setting the words of Dag Hammarskjöld, former UN Secretary-General. This piece moves from intimate introspection to hopeful affirmation, making it ideal for services of installation, memorial occasions, or moments calling for collective reflection. With a performance history that includes Duke Chapel and the opening of the Swedish Parliament, Thou Who Art Over Us offers both musical substance and profound spiritual resonance. The organ/piano accompaniment supports without overpowering, allowing the text's quiet power to shine through.
 
Perfect for: Church services, memorial concerts, interfaith gatherings, occasions of transition or dedication
