Hi Bryan,

Try

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.16"

\new Score {
 \new Staff {
   \time 3/4
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-1
   \mark \markup {\large \bold "Peacefully, yet joyously" }
   R2.*2 |
   \repeat unfold 15 { r2 <es'' es'''>4 }
 }
}

%%% END %%%

Hope this helps.
