This gospel-flavored musical reflects on the promise of peace delivered by the angels on the night of Jesus' birth. The iconic ballad Let There Be Peace on Earth is used as musical bookends: its theme is briefly stated in the second movement and then returns in full-blown gospel style at the end to provide an emotion-filled climax. In between, the Christmas story is told through scriptural narration and six beloved carols set in a variety of styles ranging from jazz to gospel to calypso. Accompaniment can be provided by piano, full orchestra, or a smaller set of rhythm parts arranged by Ed Hogan. Titles include: A Prayer for Peace; Let Us Adore Him; Bring Us Heavenly Peace; Once in Royal David's City; Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella; Carry Me to Bethlehem; Still, Still, Still; Let There Be Peace on Earth and Let Us Adore Him (Reprise). 35 minutes.
