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

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.
