Other Info: I Shall Be An Angel Of Peace was commissioned for The Sixteen by The Genesis Foundation. This choral work sets words by Ben Dunwell inspired by the words of Cardinal John Newman. This continues Will Todd's link with The Sixteen following on from works such as Among Angels, Stay With Me Lord and Whisper Him My Name. The musical setting weaves solo violin around sumptuous choral textures, contrasting lush and lyrical with ethereal and mysterious.

Will Todd writes

"In this reworking of Newman's original prayer my friend, the poet Ben Dunwell, has made sure to keep track of the different phases and ideas of the original but has to some extent simplified its structure, and allowed for certain words to be repeated. The violin lines weaving in and around the choral textures represent ‘the spirit of God’, moving constantly within and above the choir voices as they reach towards this godly ribbon of musical light."
