Music for personal peace...

All the music was composed and arranged
by ASCAP composer, Roger Lee Hall,
and includes Christmas carols, an Easter hymn,
several Afro-American spirituals
and Shaker spirituals, plus other sacred music.

"Creator God" was first composed as a hymn for Earth Day and
later expanded in two different choral versions, both on this CD:

No. 1 -- a choir anthem in 1977 conducted by the composer
and performed by the Immanuel Lutheran Church Choir,
Attleboro, Massachusetts.

No. 18 - revised choir anthem in 1993,
composed in memory of John D. Herr,
performed by the Plymouth Church Choir
in Shaker Heights, Ohio.

Track Titles:

All the music titles on the CD are First Performances and
were recorded with various church choirs, many of them conducted by the composer.
