Text based on "The Paint Box" by Tali Shurel (age 13), from the book "My Shalom, My Peace: Paintings and Poems by Jewish and Arab Children". Recorded live on Friday, May 16, 2014, at the Broward Center in the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Lyric Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had no red for wounds and red for blood. I had no black for an orphaned child. I had no white for the face of the dead. I had no yellow for burning sands. But I had a paint box. Each color glowing with delight. I had a paint box with colors warm, With colors cool and bright. I had orange for joy and life. I had green for buds and bloom. I had blue for clear, bright skies. I had pink for dreams and rest. I had a paint box. Each color g...    less

Set for SATB choir. It is a Meditation on the meaning of transubstantiation. I have also made a French translation and a German translation of the piece (also including the Latin introduction) which are also available on this site. Hoc est enim corpus meum The world's eternity lies here within my hand. The weight of pain, of love, redemption is a sigh upon my hand, My Christ, Lord of the infinite, small to my comfort in my hand. Humility of Love that tender here lies low. White, trusting, full of care within my hand. So, in my hand lies God. Hoc est enim corpus meum.  less

Hoc est enim corpus meum L'éternité du monde repose dans ma main la peine lourde d'amour, de rédemption est un soupir dans ma main O mon Christ Seigneur de l'infini petit pour mon confort, là dans ma main Humilité d'amour qui repose là si bas, Blanc, plein de confiance et soin dans ma main Là dans ma main repose mon Dieu.
