4tDona Nobis Pacem—Daniel Elder.
"Give us peace." These three words echo an ancient plea that
is equally relevant in our present turbulent society that seeks
respite from the barriers that divide us. As such, the Latin
word omnia (meaning "all") has been added alongside the
original text to underline this idea of unity and equality. The
a cappella setting is harmonically modern and unabashedly
sentimental, giving a wonderful musical juxtaposition with the
ancient text that allows the deep and healing message to be
clearly articulated. Stunning!

M. Liebergen.
This well-written arrangement is a
wonderful festival piece for middle school choirs. A nice

phrase, which is repeated throughout the work. Well done!

Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in
a world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting of an
original text is filled with striking dynamic contrasts.
"Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy hour, the wind, it
stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain... But music and
singing have been my refuge, and music and singing shall be
my light..."

From Earth to Heaven—Craig Courtney.
The ethereal nature of the Samuel Francis Smith poem is
perfectly paired with masterful text painting until the two
become one in spirit and understanding. The move from earth
to heaven is flawless. The music is deep; the text rich and
profound. The melody line moves to harmony and back again
until it finally finds a resting place. Scored for SATB choir and
piano with optional string quartet or orchestral parts available.
Glorious!

Give Us Hope—Jim Papoulis/arr.
Francisco Nunez.
Expressing a powerful message of
hope for a better world, this dynamic piece strikes a universal
chord for all to hear! The quiet and subdued opening gradually
builds to a dramatic musical statement using hand claps and
short solos for a climactic ending. "Give us hope and we'll
show you the way." Highly recommended!

I Ask For One Day—Jim Papoulis. "I ask for
one day where I don't have to hear about pain, or life that's
lost. I ask for one day where whispers of hope are alive
inside my heart." These words, written by 12 year old Claire
Latimer for a choral workshop were so moving, they inspired
this marvelous work. A song that motivates us all to work for
peace, this arrangement is very appropriate for children's
community, middle school or younger high school ensembles.

I Choose Love—Mark A. Miller.
In the midst of pain, of war, of brokenness... we choose
love. We choose community. What better way to share
this message than through powerful song... and that's
exactly what you'll find in this anthem for SATB voices. This
soulful anthem, written in response to the tragic events that
occurred at Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church
in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015, is a testament to the
power of forgiveness and peace. Appropriate for general use or
as a memorial, this beautifully written piece begins with a solo,
then rises to a full choral statement that returns to a solo for
the close. Highly recommended!

I Dream a World—Connor J. Koppin.
With Langston Hughes' famous poetry at the forefront, the
composer has created a gorgeous and tender work that truly
brings light to a darkened world. The piece was composed as
a memorial to a family, and the instrumentation and style were
inspired by their lives. The poem heralds equality, empathy
and kindness, and the emotive setting fits seamlessly with
that theme. The memorable melody and expertly crafted piano
accompaniment and instrumental lines for viola and cello will
stick with your singers, being a lifelong lesson that will come
back to them in difficult times. Expressive and moving!

gives flexibility in programming this to include male voices.

Let Peace and Love Shine Through—
Rollo Dilworth.
An uplifting, 6/8 gospel feel propels this
original to soaring heights. Phrases were offered by school
children and the composer crafted and connected them into a
significant statement. Just when you think all has been said,
a powerful conclusion utilizing This Little Light of Mine ties the
piece together and presents a hopeful message of peace and
unity.

Susan Brumfield & Michael O'Hara.
"Let there
be love in the world, let there be peace..." This inspirational
text is the perfect message for young people to sing and
for the rest of us to hear. An opening solo or unison choir
blossoms into a choral texture with whimsical accompanying
parts above and below the melody that is just the perfect
texture for young treble singers to enjoy and experience
musical growth. This is highly recommended!

Ever clever, composer Narverud came up with a highly
rhythmic celebratory composition. The title translates "We are
one", the theme being that all human beings have much in
common. The energetic djembe sets the tone, the piano adds
its own rhythmic design, and the singers dramatically deliver
the message.

Where Peace Has Always Been—
e Michael John Trotta. Michael Trotta has adapted a
19th century hymn text to create a powerful plea for hope in
times of loss or uncertainty. Occasionally referencing Sibelius's
Be Still My Soul, it is scored for SATB a cappella voices with
occasional divisi and a soprano solo. The music is lovely,
sonorous, and approachable.
