About Et erit opus justitiae pax - Der Gerechtigkeit Frucht wird Friede sein
Krzysztof Daletski’s Et erit opus justitiae pax is a powerful secular work for SAB choir, setting a German text that questions conventional approaches to security. The lyrics contrast the idea of peace being achieved through surveillance, threats, and military might with the wisdom of reducing underlying tensions. It argues that true peace does not arise from weapons or the threat of violence but from justice, a concept echoed by the prophet Isaiah. Daletski’s setting underscores this message, urging listeners to consider that a reduction in conflict stems not from increased force, but from addressing root causes and fostering righteousness.
