The theme of Music Sunday is: ONE WORLD, MANY VOICES Wayland writes the introduction as follows: One of the most important ways of understanding a culture different form our own is to sing and play its songs, read and hear its poetry, learn to speak its language and dance to its rhythms. We hope that today's service devoted to music and poetry from around the globe does its part in helping to transcend the boundaries of language and culture to bring us to a deeper understanding of "other". Our celebration of diversity begins with two pieces from the African tradition. PROCESSION FOR PEACE is the first.
