Sincere thanks to the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir for this powerful recording, which has been lightly edited. For song description and sheet music, see below.

Song description: “Peace must be the answer” is a 7 minute, 8-part choral composition that I have dedicated to the victims of war and armed conflict. The song lyrics are drawn from two sources: an anonymous anti-war poem that I came across in 2021, supplemented by some of my own words.
