REQUIEM FOR PEACE

by Larry Nickel
“This opus poignantly expresses a universal hope for peace: a major work on a grand scale – an all encompassing, all inclusive work, which demonstrates craft, genius, moral and religious conviction, and a profound sense of musical integrity.”
Dr. Stephen Chatman (head of composition at UBC)
