Hi Folks,

As we process the events of last week I am forwarding three pieces of music that we heard/came across on our trip last week (PCUSA meeting/worship/FB)--maybe you can use them in your church/community--or just personally.  Part of our trip was in Pittsburgh, a city mourning...but resilient...

1-I Believe in the Sun, by Mark Miller (used during worship at PCUSA Hunger Program meeting)

2-Walk in Peace--Sally Ann Morris (used at Forest Hill Church, Presbyterian last Sunday (link below, but a different arrangement was used as explained below)

3-O God, This Day We Grieve, by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette (saw on FB, written after Pittsburgh massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue)

Song, “I Believe” By Mark Miller - Longwood University

Song, “I Believe” By Mark Miller. The song that I have chosen to go along with my TWS is called, “I Believe” arranged by Mark Miller. The words of the song were found etched into the wall of Auschwitz. The words are: I believe in the sun even when it’s not shining. I believe in love even when I don’t feel it.

The piece linked below "Walk in Peace" (Walk in Peace, Walk in Beauty) by Sally Ann Morris was used in last Sunday's service at Forest Hill Church, Presbyterian (Cleveland Heights) as a men's trio introit.  I don't know what arrangement was used, but I can find out.  At the beginning of the service (after some words by the pastor and a prayer sent by a Jewish colleague, remembering those killed at the Tree of Life Synagogue, the first man walked down the aisle, singing alone, a capella, ending at the front of the sanctuary and facing the congregation.  He sang the verse through a couple of times, then a second man came from one side of the chancel, singing another part of the song and joined the first man in front.  Then the third man came from the other side of the chancel, singing a third part with the other two.  It was beautifully moving.

In the link below, the pace for the SATB arrangement is faster and uses a drum beat, like a processional march.  But for last Sunday's service, the slower pace, a capella and just the three men was perfect.  Slower pace, with other voices or the whole choir would work, also.  But having them sing and move into place added an element of drama.

Walk in Peace. Sally Ann Morris - GIA Publications Walk in Peace. Sally Ann Morris - GIA Publications. Click to review . Publisher Desc. Good for use throughout the liturgical year, this ostinato piece has a march-like quality that beautifully suits any procession. The repetitive refrain is especially suitable for Communion
