Oseh Shalom (עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם) - Nurit Hirsh, arr Elaine Broad Ginsberg - Harmonium Choral Society

Spem In Alium Concert, December 2015
Under the direction of Dr. Anne J. Matlack
Harmonium Choral Society
St Peter’s Episcopal Church, Morristown, NJ
Oseh Shalom is based on a tune by Nurit Hirsch, one of Israel’s leading songwriters. She
composed more than a thousand songs, among them Bashana Haba'ah and Oseh Shalom, which was composed to the words from the Kaddish prayer. Arranger Dr. Elaine Broad Ginsberg currently conducts the Hampshire College Chorus and teaches music theory and composition at Keene State College in New Hampshire. She holds B.A. and B.M. degrees from Oberlin College (in Music and Judaic Studies), an M.M. in Composition from Ball State University, and a D.M.A. in Composition from the University of Cincinnati. She spent her senior year in college living on Kibbutz Tzora as well as studying at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem. Of her composition, Dr. Ginsberg tells us: “I wrote Oseh Shalom in a single afternoon during my senior year at Oberlin College in 1985. It was for my friends to sing at the ‘Kosher Co-op’ at a Friday night service. The piece took on a life of its own and has been performed by more choirs than I can count.”
