What better wish for children - and all of us - this Christmas than Peace on Earth' This fun and poignant new musical from Sheila Wilson (Hosanna Rock!, Scrooge, Rock Around the Flock, The Sel'sh Giant) moves through laughter and tears as it tells the Christmas story with style and wit. All the favourite characters feature, with optional appearances from King Herod and Emperor Caesar Augustus, and even sheep if you have small children and woolly costumes. Everyone's kept in order by a zealous director, whilst the friendly caretaker tidies up the confetti and straw.

There are optional Recorder, Glockenspiel and Kazoo instrumentals, as well as Percussion and Sheila's trademark hand-jives. The musical ends with a medley and a heartfelt wish from all the cast (even Herod) for Peace on Earth. And we wish it for you, too.This music book POE381 provides Piano accompaniment, Guitar chords, Vocals, optional instrumentals (Recorder, Glockenspiel, Kazoos), and optional Percussion (Claves, Sleigh Bells). / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG)

Tom Trenney brings a deeply imaginative text from John Philip Newell to life in this dynamic anthem for SATB choir. The text is a prayer from Praying with the Earth: A Prayerbook for Peace and asks that the wonders of creation fill our lives and move us to live with gratitude, humbleness, and peace. Trenneyâ??s musical text painting includes mode and rhythmic shifts, vocal echoing, and soaring lyrical writing.
