Musical Metta
by Steve Renard
This is a choral setting of the sanskrit phrase "lokah samastah sukino bavantu", translated here as "may all beings be free and at peace", combined with lyrics I wrote based on the the loving-kindness meditation practice. The parts sing, in sequence: May I find peace in myself in this moment, may I find peace in this day; May my loved ones find peace in this moment, may my family find joy and peace; May those who challenge me find peace in this moment, may my challengers see and find peace. I hope you find it a useful addition to your practice, and derive similar joy from it as I experienced writing and recording it. All the voices you hear are my own, without alteration. The theme sung in the bass part was originally written by Curtis Schweizer.
