WHAT IS PEACE? is a thought-provoking exploration of peace's active nature. Through Charles Anthony Silvestri's text, inspired by the Beatitudes, the piece invites us to reconsider our understanding of peace.
It begins in stillness, reflecting the introspective nature of the text, which questions the very essence of peace. Suddenly, the music erupts into a powerful fortissimo as it declares, "Peace is fire! Yes, peace is fire!" This dramatic shift embodies the text's assertion that peace, far from being gentle rain, demands active engagement and an iron-willed resolve. The final stillness is not one of inaction, but a deliberate, mindful state - like a vigilant peace, ever-ready and watchful.
