Song of Peace
Contemporary South Carolina composer, arranger, educator and music publisher Jay Althouse has over 500 original works and arrangements in print. They include music for both adult and children’s choirs, several musicals for children, plus collections for solo voice, and are frequently performed throughout the English-speaking world.
For his Song of Peace, Mr. Althouse has adapted Piano Etude, Op. 10, no. 3, by the great Polish pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin (fray-day-REEK shoh-PA[N], 1810-1849), combining an original text with the traditional Latin prayer, “Dona nobis pacem” (Grant us peace).
