Inspired by the music and philosophy of Mr. Rogers, this tender song is a gift from the composer to his students. Heartfelt verses pose questions to singers about their feelings and lead to five important virtues: kindness and gladness, compassion and joy, and love. The dolce tempo marking requests a sweet tone from the voices and a delicate touch at the piano. There's a lot to be learned here, both musically and emotionally.

Inspired by the ceasefire that occurred in December of 1914 during World War I, this piece lives in that moment where for a brief moment, the world was at peace. Eyewitness accounts tell us that carols, such as Franz Gruber’s “Stille Nacht†(“Silent Nightâ€) were sung (which is featured in this piece), seasonal greetings in several languages rang out across the trenches, and simple gifts of food and memorabilia were exchanged. In that one brief and beautiful moment, the human spirit triumphed. Fighting ceased, and the world was at peace. An optional reading may be read before the performing that communicates this context to your audience.

A few enthusiastic handclaps during the intro and interlude add excitement. Chord symbols are provided for optional ukuleles or sing with the island-inspired SoundTrax.
