Dave Brubeck wrote his first large-scale jazz choral work, A Light in the Wilderness, in 1968, to address the climate of racial exclusion and intolerance in the United States at the time. It begins with Jesus' temptations and wandering in the desert, and climaxes with the movement, "Love Your Enemies". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsEJJiMVXfU&index=4&list=PLxFVkD_OKHa2iLzH7mkjEalclnitm7YIO
