A non-exclusive song for the winter holidays that expresses the giving spirit of the season without referencing any specific religion. (OK, there's a musical nod to Silent Night.) My challenge to myself was to write a spiritual holiday song without ever mentioning Christmas... to celebrate EVERY baby's birth and the season of giving.

The song is available for Solo voice, SSA choir with solos, SSA (no solos), and optional Violin or Flute part. Formats: with written piano part (simple - please embellish!) or Lead Sheet (melody, words, chord names - less pages to print!), lead sheet for Violin or Flute. Whew!

Lyrics:
All I Really Want is Peace on Earth
(c)2017 Lois J Henrickson (Lytingale)
 
When they ask me what I wish for
On this holy holiday,
I can only think of all the ways
The world has lost its way.

And I hope that we will see the Light
In every baby’s birth,
And expand our love to everyone.
All I really want is peace on earth, peace on earth.

Yesterday I saw an angel.
She was teaching kids to read.
And another one gave up his coat
For somebody in need.
Oh, it’s all around the city
And in every single town,
Lots of people helping people.
All they really want is peace on earth, peace on earth.

And if you search the whole world over,
This is what you’ll see:
People just want to take care of their family.

And when we realize our differences are
Really very small,
Every person is a part of us all.
 
Everybody has a purpose,
Their place is guaranteed.
Doesn’t matter what they look like,
Or what holy books they read.
Oh, we all belong together
In one caring family.
We are here to love each other.
All we really want is peace on earth,
Peace on earth,
Sweet peace on earth,
Peace.

By Pentatonix Featuring Meghan Trainor. By Jared Conrad, Kevin Olusola, Matt Sallee, Meghan Trainor, Scott Hoying, Trannie Anderson, and Trannie Stevens. Arranged by Dan Garrett. Christmas,Contemporary,Pop. Octavo. 14 pages. Daniel Garrett #839616. Published by Daniel Garrett (A0.1244671).

First performed in 2022 by Pentatonix and Meghan Trainor, Kid on Christmas is an up-tempo song in an early rock and roll style with a great message. This arrangement is suitable for high school and community choirs.

Lyrics:
May your holidays be jolly
Your hallways filled with holly
Your fireside stays burning brighter
Than it did before
May your string lights keep that twinkle
May your silver bells all jingle
And carolers sing carols at your door

Chorus:
And may your heart be evergreen
Every December
And a part of you believe
And always remember
That sugarplums dance and reindeer fly
And Santa always reads your letters
And may you stay a kid on Christmas forever

May you're turning eighty-seven
Be going on elеven
You never grow too old for stockings
Full of candy canеs
May you stay up late and listen
To hear, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
Prancing on the rooftop (Santa's down the chimney)
Oh, dropping off your presents (for some milk and cookies)

Chorus

You know I hope you wake up eyes wide open
A little love and joy in every moment
Hope you never lose your wonder
And every year you're growing younger
And when the snowflakes fall
Deck the halls
And still feel the magic of it all

Chorus.

Psalm 100 ~ my absolute favorite verses in the Bible and what I claim as my life verses! As a young girl, I remember memorizing them and how they forever imprinted on my heart to live a life through service, surrender, JOY, and love for my eternal Father, my King. Life is a gift that we get to live. Each breath is a gift that I dedicate to my heavenly Father as I walk closely with Him on this journey of life. He is with me, He inspires me through His Word, He directs my steps through the whispers of the Holy Spirit, and He pours from my soul through the joy and love that He has given me. Praise God for His gift of salvation and that every step I take is one step closer to an eternity with Him! Please enjoy this song that I was inspired to create because of its impact on my heart and throughout my life ~ I hope it is an encouragement to you and brings joy to those that learn, share, or listen!

A Joyful Sound Ministries ~ the name of our family music ministry that began in the early 1980’s and remains alive in my heart to this very day. God called my parents when they were very young to live a life of service to our King, dedicating every moment of their lives, their children, their careers, and their hearts to living His Word and beaming the light of Christ wherever they were called to walk, with whomever God placed on their path. From nursing homes, churches, Cook County Prison, homeless missions…God used our family in a mighty way to show Himself through the music, verses, testimony, and simple conversations He would inspire us to share. Through endless prayer, hours of musical rehearsing, and a lot of fun along the way, God gave us the privilege of sharing His love through ministry. I am forever thankful, inspired, and transformed because of what HE did through us! It was always about HIM and I will forever live my life of service to the King, inspired by this incredible springboard of a magical childhood that God gave me through the surrendered heart of my parents.

Composed by Phil Beaman. Folk,Jazz,Spiritual. Octavo. 13 pages. Phil Beaman #4719605. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844645).

This piece is a Showstopper! Rock-a-My-Soul is a Choral piece based on the traditional folk/gospel/spiritual. I originally envisioned this piece for a Middle School Choir, but it works well with any group that wants to have fun. It is written in 3 part Treble clef which the conductor may assign as they see fit for their choir and performance. (Part 3 works very well with male voices.) Parts all stay within an octave from Middle C to C above.  
This lively version uses many styles of jazz to drive this piece, yet there is also a recurring descending third ostinato which is the rocking comfort this piece imparts.   The piano part plays an important role in driving this piece and setting the moods. Each of the seven sections shifts the mood and jazz style but maintains a level of energy.  
After completing the jazz arrangements of the traditional chorus I tried various ways to extend the piece. One day while working on this piece I saw a news clip about another school bullying incident. I immediately made the connection -- at its heart Rock-a-My-Soul is really about overcoming obstacles to find comfort and acceptance. So I wrote some additional lyrics to create an anti-bullying, anti-depression section. I have soloists deliver the main lines to make it personal and invitational then the choir backs them up, call and response style, with Everything's gonna be alright.  
Lyrics throughout are all carefully worded so that the song may be used for either secular or sacred purposes. The context and location where it is sung will flesh out the implied and intended meaning. If sung in school it means you have friends here who accept you; if sung in your place of worship then it means that your God accepts you.
Simple power, beauty and meaning all wrapped in joyous jazz!
