Deep Peace (CD)

Canadian Bill Douglas personifies the eclecticism that characterizes 21st-century New Age music. A critically acclaimed recording artist, he has released several best-selling Celtic-flavored titles. He composes classical musical pieces for orchestras and choral groups around the world, and has taught music history and technique on the university level. He has played jazz piano, and classical bassoon, and worked as a musical theorist. Often setting elegant 18th- and 19th-century poetry to original tunes, Douglas makes excellent use of the spine-tingling choral blends of the Ars Nova Singers. The hymn-like songs traverse a surprising variety of styles, from Celtic to classical to folk to an almost aboriginal tribal feel.

This important recording established a new creative mode for the multi-talented composer/instrumentalist Bill Douglas. With the help of the masterful Ars Nova Chorus, Douglas pairs a number of classic British poems with his own strong neo-classical compositions, creating powerful vocal songs in the tradition of other folk/classical fusionists like Ralph Vaughn Williams.

The song "Deep Peace" first appeared on Bill Douglas's debut album JEWEL LAKE as a piece for piano and solo voice. Later, it garnered lots of airplay and sales on the popular CELTIC TWILIGHT compilation. The chorale version here has been covered by vocal groups all over the world, and was featured in the memorial service at Ground Zero on the one-year anniversary of 9/11.
