Let There Be Peace on Earth—
Sy Miller & Jill Jackson/arr. Jay Rouse.
This multigenerational arrangement of the
famous song is crafted to blend a children's
choir and an adult choir. The delicate opening
by the children's choir begins in unison, then
splits into two easy-to-sing parts before leading
into a power crescendo where the children are
joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful
moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet,
touching ending with a children's solo singing
the final phrase.

complementary accompaniment by piano
and cello. Consider this work for memorial
occasions or services on the theme of peace.

May I Be Filled—Mark Miller.
Based on a Buddhist blessing, this song is a
prayer for kindness, peace, well-being, and
joy for all creation. The prayer moves outward
like ripples on a pond with successive verses:
"May I," "May you," and "May we." Opening
with a solo or unison stanza, it leads through
successive verses with gradually thickening
voices and ever-flowing accompaniment. The
audience is invited to join on the third verse.

and mission as we share Christ's peace and
love. The two groups blend Latin and English in
an interplay that can include the congregation
before concluding with a soft "Amen" and
"pacem." An optional violin part is included
providing another layer to this beautiful blessing.

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.

Song of Unity—Karen Marrolli.
Based on Psalm 133, "How good and pleasant
it is when God's people live together in unity!"
this anthem encourages us to build bridges
rather than walls. Incorporating the tune and
some text from the hymn Blest Be the Tie That
Binds, the music moves along easily in a lilting
6/8 meter while the text affirms the unity that
comes from common belief.
