Classic Whitney song mashed up with Walk the Moon's Shut Up and Dance.

SKU: A0.1449532

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.

Perfect SAB for youth or community choirs!
Evocative music that speaks to loneliness and sharing
Easy to follow trance-style electronic track

Stars Through the Rain (2022) by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP) and Walter Torres (BMI)
SAB and electronic track by Walter Torres
Text — Stars Through the Rain by Kim Stafford 
Program note — 
Duration 3:23
Difficulty 2 (High school)
Language — Spanish

Program note — Commissioned by Inversion’s new youth choir Nova for its inaugural concert “Star Stuff� in June 2023, Stars Through the Rain is scored for SAB chorus by Adrienne Inglis with electronic track created by Walter Torres. Kim Stafford’s poignant poem of the same name tells the story of a young woman living alone in a remote corner of the world. She witnesses remarkable images of a rainbow over the moon and stars showing through the rain showers. She yearns to share these beautiful experiences with another person. The piece sets the choruses of the poem, which start in a lonely mood and subtly evolve, giving the listener the hope of being lifted into a sharing relationship with another soul. The electronic track weaves natural and synthesized elements together, creating a dreamlike soundscape evoking the night sky. The emotive arpeggiated melody line alternates between minor and major tonality, capturing her melancholic yet hopeful yearning to share this sublime moment with somebody else. The driving percussion elements represent the pitter-patter of rain drops. Synthesized pads provide the harmony and are affected by filter sweeps, a sonic interpretation of starlight refracting through rain sheets.
