So which composition/arrangement (not: interpretation) fits best to what the words express for you personally?
And which version do you enjoy most?
Here are my thoughts:
-
"Deep Peace" (Bill Douglas): makes me feel blue (a bit empty and lonely and also a bit nostalgic)
-
"Deep Peace" (John Rutter): sunshine through the leaves of a tree. Took me some time to get familiar with it though - at first I didn't like this particular piece on the album "Peace"
-
"Attendite" (Robert Prizeman): morning landscape with flowers and a river. I don't usually like pentatonic music, but this piece stroke me right at my first listen. And it conveys the message perfectly as for me, the somehow 'Eastern' aspect of the music totally represents a balanced world where everything exists in harmony with others. So clearly this one wins. 10/10
-
"Healing Light" (Karl Jenkins): no, just no.

There is a song with very similar lyrics called "The Peace of the Earth", originally from Guatemala and adapted by John Bell
[...]
I also found this one:
These two are nice actually
- The first is hymn-like and does speak of gentleness
- The second one gets me feeling a bit blue, too (somewhat the same as the Bill Douglas' one), but of course more 'secular'
