Oseh Shalom is a part of a phrase found in the conclusions of many Jewish blessings and prayers, including the blessing after meals (birkat ha'mazon), kaddish (both the "full" and "mourner's" kaddish), and the standing or silent prayer (Amidah).
When sung on its own, there are several different tunes used. Below are two of the most common for Oseh Shalom: the first includes the words, in Hebrew, English transliteration and translation; the second is performed by a children's choir and includes a second song (Salaam (Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu)) at the end.
Thanks to a cantor for singing Oseh Shalom for us.
