Join us at Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church in Seattle. The Seattle Peace Chorus directed by Frederick N. West will perform songs that inspire us.

As each wave of generations comes into its own we look at what would we like to pass on what would we like our children to learn. Songs have a special role to move us to be involved in building community and to work for a more peaceful world. Songs can bring hope reflection and a sense of well being as well as action. Songs are also closely related to play a key element of learning for the young—and for all of us.

We will collaborate with the exciting gospel group the African American Cultural Ensemble led by Kent Stevenson and will perform with the dynamic Haida singer Sondra Segundo.

Our repertoire will include:

Songs of reassurance:

  • South African lullaby “Masambe” describing travelling with your baby on the train
  • “Ooh child” — gospel style
  • “What the World Needs Now Is Love” — gospel style
  • “Know that You Yourself Are Essential to this World” by Frederick West with soloist Sondra Segundo and the words of Chief Arvol Looking Horse spiritual leader of the Lakota people (with his special permission)

Songs that teach your children to seek out beauty:

  • “Beati Quorum Via” by Charles Stanford Blessed are those who walk”
  • “Tota pulchra es” by Maurice Duruflé — “ You are all beautiful”

Songs about being on the move in community:

  • “People Get Ready” by Curtis Mayfield with additional verses including “There is a bright new future and we’re not going back!”
  • “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around” — a traditional civil rights song that teaches us stand up for ourselves
  • “Stand Up” sung by Haida singer Sondra Segundo who will talk about teaching the next generation the Haida language and culture
