Originally composed as a choral prayer for peace and wholeness during the events of 2020, Shalom alternates between sections of very simple melody floating over gentle accompaniment, with polyphonic refrains featuring whispers of the word "peace. No matter how complex the texture gets, it always returns to a single unison note, picturing the meaning of shalom: not merely a surface level peace, but wholeness in every aspect of one's being (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) and in all our relationships with each other.
