Choral settings of St. Francis' Prayer?

Heath

I'd love to program a setting of this text for my choir, but I haven't found much out there that has struck me. Any settings that you would recommend?

I may write my own, but wanted to see what else is out there first.

(Note: I like the Temple setting well enough, but that's not what I'm looking for.)

Just as an aside, here's a little history on the origin of that text.

K. Lee Scott has a wonderful setting using James Quinn's translation of the text titled "Servants of Peace" published by Selah.

Leo Nestor also has a setting using the original text titled "Peace Prayer of St. Francis" published by E.C.S. Publishing.

If you are interested in other St. Francis texts there is a work by Joan Szymko titled "Illumina le Tenebrae" from Santa Barbara Music Publishing.

Barrie Cabena has a setting I think is lovely.

I wrote one, eons and eons ago. It has sat at the lonely bottom of a forgotten sack. I'm not sure I could find it now, but it was an SATB setting.
