This multi-generational arrangement of the famous Sy Miller and Jill Jackson song is crafted to beautifully incorporate a children’s choir and adults choir. The delicate opening by the children’s choir begins in unison before splitting into two easy-to-sing parts before leading into a power crescendo where the children are joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet, touching ending with a children’s solo singing the opening melody “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.â€.
