Gwyneth Walker is a graduate of Brown University and the Hartt School of Music. She holds both Masters and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees. A former faculty member of the Hartt School of Music and the Oberlin College Conservatory, Walker resigned from academic employment in 1982 to pursue a full-time career as a composer. She lives on a dairy farm in Braintree, VT and composes her music surrounded by 400 Holstein cows.
She provides the following notes for 'Peace I Ask of Thee, O River':
It was commissioned by the St. Louis Women's Chorale (Scott Schoonover, music director) in celebration of their tenth season: 1995-2005, a setting of the traditional song, "Peace, I Ask of Thee, O River." New material has been added to form the accompaniment and to provide interludes between and after the verses. The intent of creating these additions was to enhance the image of the river as it flows through the song. And perhaps to expand upon the message of peace.
