About this talk
Psalter: Themes for Peace is one of a series of three jazz suites that explores scriptures on peace through instrumental composition and improvisation. I will use this work as a starting point to discuss questions around the ways sacred text is read and experienced in communities of faith, and questions around the relationship between music and meaning. What do we mean when we say ‘music speaks louder than words’? especially when that music is improvised jazz?
