COMPOSERS OF BAHÁ'Í-INSPIRED CHORAL MUSIC
serving you since October 2015
... set to music the verses and the divine words so that they may be sung with soul-stirring melody in the Assemblies and gatherings, and that the hearts of the listeners may become tumultuous and rise towards the Kingdom of Abhá in supplication and prayer.
~ 'Abdu'l-Bahá
Some of the following are professional composers, others compose as a hobby and still others might have only composed one choral piece in their lifetime. We are honouring all of their work by compiling their names. Also, the composers on this list are not necessarily members of the Bahá'í Faith. If their name is listed, it's because they have set to music words from the Sacred Writings of the Bahá'í Faith. Before we started the call for new compositions for the First Australian Bahá'í Choral Festival, we only knew of a dozen composers of Bahá'í-inspired choral music. Now, there are more than 120 names on this list and it keeps on growing! :)
If you know a composer whose name is not listed here, please send us a note and we'll be happy to add them.

O thou Eternal One! Make ... their souls full of divine melodies and sacred (choral) music! ~ 'Abdu'l-Bahá
