NEW WORKS
RIBBONS OF HOPE
Ribbons of Hope is a new hymn dedicated to LOUDfence UK. For the words, recording, and details regarding the downloading of the music, please click here.
Senior Director and Founder of LOUDfence UK Antonia Sobocki:
"Ribbons of Hope is for all survivors, not least those who cling onto their faith at the far flung peripheries of the church. And it is for those bishops, clergy and laity who continue to throw open the doors and windows of the church in the hope that everyone injured by abuse may, little by little, feel able to move closer to the centre of the church which longs for
their return."
There are two editions:
a) Unison Voices and b) SATB. Both have piano/organ accompaniment.
Both are available on our PDF downloads page, as are the backing tracks (piano).
