n Music, Lead the Way!Laura Farnell. Laura
Farnell has drawn her inspiration for this gospel-
style composition from the work of the late Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and others like him, who
worked to break down the barriers of racial and
social discrimination. A gripping Henry Van Dyke
text delivers the powerful message: when we
choose love and sing together in community, surely
"peace and love will conquer hate and strife."

ready-made candle-lighting ceremony as a soloist
sings with a solitary flame, a second voice adds its
light, and gradually the whole choir illuminates the
stage with their voices and hopes of peace. One
Latin phrase, "Dona nobis pacem," is sung by the
echoing chorus, then "in the glow of candlelight I
see... peace for you and me." Choirs of all ages will

time of year! Highly recommended!
