PEACE ORATORIO is a musical work composed by John B. Meldrum, based on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is written for a narrator, 8 soloists accompanied by an orchestra, along with a band featuring African percussion and a Hammond organ, a children's choir and a large adult choir mixing Gospel and Classical singers. Convinced of the human and artistic potential of this work to bring people together, we make music sweet and beautiful, rocking and raucous that keeps the promise of America's place in the world. Peace Oratorio creates a space where people learn to live together in peace, where all races and creeds find a common ground of understanding one another, every sister, every brother, singing freedom and justice for one and for all.
