Alice Parker's new piece, written for the 100th anniversary of the St. Olaf Choral Festival, is a moving cry for peace. Using a text from Isaiah, sung in Hebrew - "They'll beat their swords to the points of a plow and change their deadly spears to pruning hooks. No, they'll not raise their swords again, never will they learn war anymore. No, they'll never return to evil, no more destroying." - Alice's setting is bold and challenging to the heart, mind and spirit, using a tune by Israeli composer Ezra Gabay. This would be a poignant, wonderful addition to a choral concert or to worship. Choirs - from high school age to professionals will be moved and rewarded by its challenges.
