A Song for Peace is a short, processional-style piece for chorus and African djembe drum. Designed as an opening song for a concert, the piece follows a call-and-response pattern out of African marching songs to call the audience and singers together, contrasted with gentle, European-style polyphony in the call for peace. Texts in Swahili and Tagalog – two beautiful-for-singing languages – complete the sense of international unity.
