Kehre wieder, holder Friede by Stephen Storace — Lyrics
Kehre wieder, holder Friede,
kehr in unsre Fluren ein.
Jener Drangsal sind wir müde,
komm, davon uns zu befrein,
uns zu befrein.

About Kehre wieder, holder Friede
Stephen Storace's Kehre wieder, holder Friede is a secular German partsong for SSTB choir. Its text expresses a longing for peace to return to the land, weariness of hardship, and a plea for liberation. The words paint a picture of simple dwellings ('Hütten') and fields ('Fluren'), evoking a desire for domestic and rural tranquility to be restored. This setting offers a gentle, lyrical reflection on the human yearning for calm and respite, suitable for a concert program seeking to convey a mood of hopeful contemplation. The rich harmonies of the four-part writing support the heartfelt appeal for peace to re-enter the lives of those who have known struggle.
