During the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, saxophonist Paul Nolen asked if I might have a choir piece that I could transcribe for saxophone choir which his Illinois State University students could learn and record their parts in their homes; he would then mix together and share online. I immediately thought of the text of Lo Yisa Goy: And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. May all nations learn once again to listen to each other, and may we find a global peace to preserve both mankind and our planet.
