Synopsis

Amazon.com

Quiet, contemplative, and unhurried, Prayer for Peace sustains a fittingly reflective mood as it samples music from eight artists and 15 previously released Silver Wave recordings. The label specializes in music that intertwines Native American and contemporary instrumental elements, and the assembled talent here---flutist R. Carlos Nakai, pianist Peter Kater, vocalist Joanne Shenandoah, plus a single selection from Robert Mirabal--showcase the affecting, organic appeal of such an approach. Label cornerstones Nakai and Kater evoke some of the disc's most thoughtful moments in eloquent ensemble pieces such as "I Will Fight No More" and "If Men Were at Peace" (the latter featuring Paul McCandless on soprano saxophone and cellist David Darling), and Shenandoah's unforced, crystalline vocalese can inspire stillness and quiet. Chanting is a minimal element on this disc. Sales of the recording are intended to benefit the World Peace Prayer Society. --Terry Wood

'May Peace Prevail on Earth'

Joanna Spindler | Boulder, CO United States | 09/25/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, this album is more poignant than ever. A beautifully, soothing soundscape with a decidedly Native American bent. Prayer For Peace showcases today's top Native musician's: Robert Mirabal, Joanne Shenandoah, Mary Youngblood, R. Carlos Nakai & many more. Proceeds benefit The World Peace Prayer Society and the message is clear..."
