Pulitzer prize-winner, Douglas Moore (at the time chairman of Columbia U. Music Dept.) wrote to Thompson in 1936: "...I want to go on record as believing that you have written the best modern choral work I have heard. It is good from every point of view. Technical treatment of the voices, understanding and expression of the text, and actual musical content which is fresh and beautiful." The individual movements are also published separately.
Movements:
I. Say ye to the righteous
II. Woe unto them
III. The noise of a multitude
IV. Howl ye
V. The paper reeds by the brooks
VI. Recit. But these are they that forsake the Lord For ye shall go out with joy

Peaceable kingdom will always be in my heart.

Moving and beautiful
One of my favorite choral memories is singing this with a group of ten singers in Canterbury Cathedral when I was 19. It was difficult with ten, one or two on a part, but that only elevated the experience for us. Intense music, intense prophetic text.

memories of a lifetime
I sang (1st soprano) this composition in my high school choir. Almost 25 years later, I can still remember the intensity and the emotion that this collection evokes - in both its singers and its audience. A truly inspiring and emotional piece. I will treasure it always! Not an easy...

Demanding, But Well Worth the Effort
I sang the entire composition "The Peaceable Kingdom" in college. I saw at performances of these peices persons heart melt and their emotions take complete hold of them. The Peaceable Kingdom is a bible study on the end of the world which will cause you to considered your own fate....
