The concert, “We Shall Walk in Peace”, while serving as a memorial for fallen soldiers, features a collection of pieces that describe the power of war in both uniting and dividing humanity, with a final call for humans to want to achieve peace and unity with one another without the bloodshed and violence of war.
The concert will be Sunday, May 21 at 3:30 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church of Clearfield.
From historical to contemporary, sacred and secular, and traditions both domestic and foreign, this program brings a variety of perspectives on war and its influence.
There is truly a piece for everyone, from Mozart’s moving “Ave verum corpus”, to Vaughan Williams’ somber setting of Walt Whitman’s poem, “Dirge for Two Veterans”, to well-known folk songs and poems from various traditions, among them “In Flander’s Fields”, “Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye”, “Ae Fond Kiss”, and “Chester”.
