Hymns of Peace
A collection of ten new hymns written in 2018 to mark the centenary of Armistice Day and the end of the First World War.
The collection includes the winner of Jubilate's Hymns of Peace competition, Hope for the World's Despair by Ally Barrett. A flagship recording of the winning hymn, featuring Jonathan Veira and the All Souls Orchestra conducted by Noël Tredinnick, is available here, along with a reflective, animated video that could be used in church services and other events.
