Sim Shalom

Written for the Luther College Collegiate Chorale for concert with the theme, œPrayers for Peace. Although the work is newly composed, the melodic material seems reminiscent of music that one would hear in a Hebrew morning service, and the melody is one that the singers and listeners will carry with them throughout the entire day. The piece can be performed in a variety of ways: as an unaccompanied work (beginning at measure 8), with piano, or with string quartet. The work is suitable for both concerts and worship services.
