Anthem of Peace by Willberg

This was written in 1991 for a Festival of Song in Estonia (as Estonia was achieving independence from the Soviet Union). It combines an Estonian folksong (in English) with the American spiritual We Shall Walk in the Valley of Peace.

This performance, by a South Dakota festival choir is interesting. They have an inter-generational All-State (cool!) and it's a pretty good performance. (We won't be using the brass).



Another performance, by an Ohio All-State. Different acoustic, different approach...
