A Bridge of Peace

This is a song of hope - of building a bridge between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. Their respective trees, Jaffa Orange in Israel and Olive on Arab lands, reach out their branches as hands across the sky. The musical setting is based on a poem by Ada Aharoni, which references both the Bible and the Koran. The music is varied and expressive, shifting from a combative section to a healing passage with major tonality and soaring phrases. "Let us build a strong bridge of jasmine understanding."
