Product Details

Product Description

This piece of music is ideal for an interfaith service, and combines two melodies that, at first glance, seem completely unrelated in temperament. Come O long Expected Jesus is based on the hymn tune JEFFERSON, an early American tune first published in Alexander Johnsons Tennessee Harmony in 1818. Sim Shalom is a traditional Yiddish folk song and blessing.

These two separate melodies from different cultures share not just a modal melody with similar harmonies, but a shared longing for redemption through peace, hope, healing and light.
