Arrangements of five Shaker songs by Kevin Siegfried provide the structure for this album of 20th and 21st century choral works. The texts for this program explore themes of peace, a parent's love, and awe in God's creation, concluding with two motets for Advent and Christmas.

This extraordinary choir is directed by Deanna Joseph and was recorded in the warm acoustics of Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta.
