Shalom

Description

This tender and comforting work is a “passing of 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. Written as a way to share peace to one another during the Covid-19 pandemic and racial injustices of 2020, this piece is equally at home in worship or concert settings.
