l Give Peace In Our Time—Ethan McGrath.

timely today as when it was originally penned in

soulful gospel setting. This setting for SATB voices

4e Lead with Love—Melanie DeMore.
Lead With Love was written in answer to a call
for connection in troubled times. It is about
persistence, community, and moving ahead.
"One foot in front of the other" is a metaphor
for determination and forward motion. The
composer speaks of "love warriors" like Martin
Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa,
and Ghandhi—all who started their movements
out of the love of their people not out of the
hatred of someone else.

4 Shalom—Dan Forrest. This tender and
comforting work 'passes the peace' as its simple
yet elegant melody washes over the listener,
gently unfolding its text with increasing texture:
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you,
not as the world gives; do not be afraid." The
Hebrew word "shalom" forms the refrains, and
whispers of the word "peace" further paint the
spirit and promise of the text. With piano and
optional violin, this piece is equally at home in
worship or concert settings.

"Peace, like war, must be waged - mindfully,
