from tears, hatred, and injustice and provides a

Prayer for Shalom—Kyle Pederson.
In this heartfelt prayer for peace, contemporary
and traditional styles blend seamlessly as the
choir asks first to receive shalom, then offers
shalom to the listener, to friends and family, to
those we don't know, and even to our enemies.
"...heal us all that we may know the wholeness of
your great shalom."

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.

faith." It echoes the principles of Kwanzaa and

djembe, shakers, wood block, and cowbell.

We Shall Walk Through the Valley—
arr. Undine Smith Moore. The arrangement of
this African American spiritual is both accessible

at the conclusion, adding cohesion to a lovely
setting. Perfect for the first Sunday of Lent or
as a companion anthem whenever Psalm 23 is
scheduled.
