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:

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.
