This Day Of Peace

This tune was specifically written for International Peace Day (Sept. 21), but it can be used in any similar way, as it does not mention this occasion in particular. It is a very gentle, lovely tune which can be performed as a round. The lyrics and melody are both simple so that anyone can learn it and sing along. After all, who would you want to exclude from celebrating peace? Consider teaching it to your whole school and even inviting your audience to join in when it becomes a round the second time through.

The accompaniment on the recording is as nice as you might expect. However, we have kept the piano accompaniment playable, again for accessibility by any group that wishes to use the tune.
