Margaret Rizza is a favorite composer. Much of her music is chant of a piece of scripture or liturgy set to her beautiful music. A particular favorite is this simple piece titled: “Calm me, Lord”.

Calm me, Lord, as you calmed the storm;

still me, Lord, keep me from harm.

Let all the tumult within me cease,

enfold me, Lord, in your peace.

Words: David Adam

Like her music, Margaret Rizza’s Reflections – with a background of her music, resonate with me.

Her video provides insight into her life using the language of music as her instrument of peace and connection with the Supreme.

This Sunday, this day of rest [for me] from the work week, I enjoyed an extra dose of Margaret Rizza’s music as well as her written and spoken words.

Peace.
